Lajares

Lajares is a typical village in the north of Fuerteventura, ideally located at equal distance from the East , West and North shores. You will need only 15 minutes drive in each direction to reach the spectacular cliffs and lagoons of El Cotillo, or the sand dunes and clear waters of Corralejo. The village is well served by buses from and to Puerto del Rosario, Corralejo, El Cotillo, and La Oliva.

In Lajares, the surprising sight of windmills is a reminder of its farming past. Surrounded by volcanos, the village has now evolved in a favorite place for many Europeans seeking a naturally peaceful environment, but not too far from the charms and frenzy of the coastline. Lajares has its own supermarket, pharmacy, cash machine, even a French bakery, and several popular watersports shops. There are also some good restaurants and bars, where live music sessions are not uncommon. In the centre of the village, a dedicated shop sells a wide variety of Canarian craftwork.

Lajares has it all : beautiful surroundings, a quick and easy access to a lot of beaches and surfing spots, useful services and commodities, and a relaxing night-life. From there, you can easily hike on the nearby slopes, or bike along the coast. Or you can just relax in one of the numerous villas scattered on the hills, enjoying the never-ending sun, the breeze, and the unique atmosphere… Welcome to Lajares !!
