Ajuy is a small fishing village on the west coast of Fuerteventura, known for its impressive rock formations, black sand beach and unspoilt, unspoilt surroundings.

The nearby Cuevas de Ajuy in particular attract many visitors - a series of geologically impressive caves formed by volcanic activity. These caves contain limestone deposits that are around 100-150 million years old, making them the oldest part of the Canary Islands.

The layers of rock were formed long before the volcanic formation of the islands, as deposits on the seabed that were later lifted to the surface by tectonic movements. The black sandy beach of Playa de Ajuí forms a striking contrast to the light-coloured limestone cliffs and the deep blue Atlantic Ocean, creating a unique landscape.

A well-maintained hiking trail leads from Ajuy to the caves and offers impressive views of the wild coastal landscape and imposing rock formations along the way.

In addition, the small local restaurants invite you to enjoy fresh fish in the authentic atmosphere of a traditional Canarian fishing village.
