Pure Luxury

“Call me spoiled - but I love to be treated like a queen when traveling. Only the best is good enough for me. Hotels that make my vacation a dream of luxury and seduction are my choices. Pay attention to the (violet Medal) for luxury accommodation.”

Sustainable Travel

“There is only one earth and we should go out and see it. I like hotels, which look for sustainability. It is not only protecting the ecology, but also taking care for the local business and culture. I recommend the medal for eco accomodation. Let’s protect our earth. Sustainable travel is travelling with responsibility.”

Markus Lenk, Düsseldorf, Germany

Teguitar lies along the FV-2 and offers several reasons to stay: trails through protected landscapes, local festive culture and products from Fuerteventura. Are you mainly interested in exploring the trails, experiencing a Romería pilgrimage or discovering regional products? Each choice raises its own questions about travel dates and planning.

Location and Protected Areas

Teguitar is a rural settlement in the municipality of Tuineje, located directly alongside the FV-2. Buildings in the settlement lie within the Monumento Natural de Los Cuchillos de Vigán; some are also within the Paisaje Protegido del Malpaís Grande. The route from El Tequital passes through the Malpaís Grande nature area. The settlement is therefore associated with two named protected areas, while the route follows a specific path through one of them.

Trails and Places to Visit

Near Teguitar, an unpaved track runs from the FV-2 to the Centro de Interpretación de La Atalayita. A 2007 plan describes this connection; check current access before visiting. Several routes from the FV-2 lead from Teguitar to the geological site Cuchillos cuaternarios de Vigán. As trail conditions can change, check them locally. The interpretation centre and the geological site are separate destinations, which you can consider individually when planning. If one of them is the main purpose of your outing, plan your route specifically around that destination.

Romería Pilgrimage and Cultural Programmes

Pilgrims use the route from El Tequital for the Romería in honour of Hermano San Pedro, held as part of the El Tequital festivities. In the 2024 programme for the XXIII. Semana Cultural de Tequital, the Romería ran from the Centro Cultural to the Cueva del Hermano Pedro. The programme for the XXII. Semana Cultural de Tequital gives the dates for 2023 as 30 October to 5 November. The 2024 programme included leisure, sporting, cultural and traditional activities. These details relate to past editions. If a festival is the reason for your trip, check the current dates and venues before making your travel plans.

Cheese and Products from Fuerteventura

Sabores Canarios Maritaty in Teguitar specialises in the island’s goat cheese and also sells products from Fuerteventura: olive oil, sweets, wines, Tuno juices, mojos and jams. Tastings of various cheeses are available. Check the options before your visit if you would like to plan a tasting. The selection may also change; contact the shop in advance if you are coming for a particular product.

Find a Hotel for Your Trip

If you are looking for a hotel for Teguitar, first decide what will be the main purpose of your stay. A festival visit depends on current dates; for the trails, current access and conditions matter, and you should arrange a tasting in advance.
