The Secrets of Fuerteventura Island

We'll begin our excursion at the northern part of the island at the Finca Torres to learn about local goat cheese production. The internationally renowned goat cheeses produced in Fuerteventura have been awarded the highest "Golden Cheese Award" for five consecutive years. At the end of our tour, we'll enjoy a tasting of this famous delicacy. We'll then continue on to the small village of Tiscamanita to visit a cosmetics producer who uses aloe vera, one of the most prominent crops on the island. We'll learn about the plant's surprising healing powers, and you'll be able to purchase products. Next stop will be Betancuria, founded by French explorer Jean de Béthencourt at the beginning of the 15th century. He chose the area within the valley to be protected from pirate attacks.
