Playa del Majanicho, Beach in La Oliva, Spain.
The 150-meter-long sandy beach features crystal waters and scattered rocks along the shoreline, creating a natural cove in northern Fuerteventura.
Ancient settlers established temporary dwellings known as Los Corrales de Los Majos near the beach, leaving archaeological remains that date back to pre-Hispanic times.
The central plaza surrounding the small chapel dedicated to Our Lady of the Pine serves as a gathering point for the fishing community.
Located 9 kilometers west of Corralejo, the beach offers calm waters without strong currents, making it suitable for families with children.
Special tables installed in the water allow fishermen to clean their catch directly at sea, maintaining traditional fishing practices.

Fuerteventura, the second largest island in the Canary Islands, is characterized by its diverse landscapes and notable geological features. The island houses spectacular formations such as the white dunes of Corralejo Natural Park, extending over more than 10 kilometers, the 70-million-year-old Ajuy caves, and accessible volcanoes like Calderon Hondo with its 70-meter-deep crater. The coastline offers expansive beaches like the one in Cofete, 12 kilometers long and backed by the Jandía mountains, as well as Lobos Island, a volcanic nature reserve with black sand beaches. Beyond its natural assets, Fuerteventura offers cultural experiences such as the Grain Museum, which traces the island's agricultural history, and activities suitable for all ages with Oasis Park with 3,000 animals or Aqua Water Park in Corralejo. The island's climate allows visits year-round, with mild temperatures and ample sunshine promoting exploration of its natural parks, historical sites, and preserved coastline.
