Majanicho, a small fishing village at Fuerteventura

Majanicho, a small fishing village is located in the north of Fuerteventura, in the municipality of La Oliva 18 km from Corralejo and 15 km from the village of El Cotillo .

The village, with a hundred inhabitants, is made up of a group of houses that are distributed around a small bay with calm waters.

Among the typical whitewashed houses with blue or green doors and windows, the tiny but picturesque church of Nuestra Señora del Pino stands out .

The Señora del Pino , the patron saint of the place, celebrates her feast day in September, the period when Majanicho comes alive with festivities with music, dancing and food festivals.

In this picturesque village, visitors who come to this corner to enjoy its charm are few, as it is not mentioned in the tourist guides.

Among the most popular itineraries in the Canary Islands are secluded places that contain hundreds of beauties and this unique village is the perfect one.

Majanicho is one of those places where you can take refuge to unplug, to feel in contact with nature, one of the most enchanting and peaceful places to practice yoga at Fuerteventura .

A magical place, typical Canarian

Majanicho is a magical place, typical canarian, where the sea is omnipresent and the boats sway in the water so transparent that they seem to float in the air.

Sitting on the shore, you watch the fishermen approach a table anchored in the sand and clean the fresh fish, or toast to something only they know.

In this small village it is surprising that, despite the centuries that have passed, the history, culture and tradition of Majoreros (inhabitants of Fuerteventura) have remained alive and intact.

Many places on the island are forgotten by tourist itineraries in Fuerteventura and this means that many people miss the opportunity to visit dream places, such as Majanicho.

The fact that they are rarely visited allows them to maintain their charm intact in the face of a large influx of tourists that occurs in other more crowded areas of the island.

Majanicho and other small villages scattered around the island are places where the hours seem to have stopped and where the sounds you hear are those of the nature of Fuerteventura.

Majanicho Beach, Absolute Calm

Majanicho beach is one of the magical places of Fuerteventura, 150m long, rustic and nestled in a small and charming fishing village.

Its white sand and the blue water are the perfect setting to enjoy a day of relaxation and well-being in an oasis of peace and tranquility.

On windy days, lovers of water sports such as surfing , windsurfing and kitesurfing enjoy riding the spectacular waves of the Atlantic Ocean.

The small town of Majanicho is not the place where you will find restaurants or entertainment venues, but a few km from the village is the urbanizacion of Origo Mare, or Lajares .

Playa de Majanicho, like most of the beaches in Fuerteventura, is wild and without services such as: sunbeds, umbrellas and lifeguards, and not even bars, restaurants and hotels.
