IMG_8073Fuerteventura was the last large island in the Canarian archipelago to be developed according to western standards. Since the 60's of the last century many major and minor improvements to the local infrastructure and services have been realised. It would be exhaustive to list them up, but some of the most important ones should be mentioned: potable water and energy in sufficient amounts, asphalted roads, health care and the tourist infrastructure. As Fuerteventura does not have natural resources, the only continuous source of income is tourism, although also here fluctuations in that the amount of visitors can vary significantly, as we have witnessed in the recent past.

  • No Cars or mobile phones!
    Residents from Mezquez and Ajuy this week reinacted life as it was only only 50 years ago. Dressed as fishermen they put aside the comforts of modern life because they were going on a journey to the world of the ancient majoreros. They were off to catch seafood to complement a diet that once relied almost exclusively on goat meat, cheese, roasted maize meal and little else. Parents and children retraced the footsteps of the ancients, to go fishing, along the path of the Mézquez ravine to reach the water, a location considered ideal for fishing by the people then and now. Canes on the shoulders, bags on their backs and a donkey saddled and well stocked with bread, dried figs, gofio and bait, Mariante XXI century began a journey that was commonplace half a century ago out of necessity, not fun as it was this week. Those who lived...

  • Tindaya project.
