- DETAILS
Green vegetation on the shores of the Atlantic
The Barranco de la Torre is an impressive gorge on Fuerteventura, characterised by striking lava rock faces and varied vegetation. This region is particularly green and is ideal for exploring the surroundings and enjoying the fascinating landscape.
The watercourse of the Barranco de la Torre only carries water during heavy rainfall. After such rainfall, the surrounding area is transformed, revealing an impressive, vibrant landscape that emphasises the natural beauty of the region.
The Barranco flows into the Atlantic at a small stone beach. There is also a small chapel on the edge of the beach, which is dedicated to the patron saint of fishermen, the Virgen del Carmen, and offers a peaceful retreat in this interesting environment.
- Tip
Lush vegetation after rainfall
- A walk through the Barranco de la Torre is particularly worthwhile after rainfall, when the vegetation blossoms and the landscape takes on a very special atmosphere.
- RECOMMENDATION
Museum of traditional salt production
- A visit to the Barranco de la Torre can be ideally combined with a trip to the Museo del Sal in the neighbouring town of Salinas del Carmen, where visitors can learn more about traditional salt production on Fuerteventura.
- Getting There
By car
- The Barranco de la Torre is located on the east coast, south of Caleta de Fuste and can be reached via the FV-2 and a short gravel road.
- Car parking is available near the Barranco.
