Unique Flavors

Gastronomy: Cheese and sea

The gastronomy of Fuerteventura is characterized by its cheeses, especially the majorero, which is one of the most famous in the Canary Islands. Gofio, wrinkled potatoes with mojo and fresh fish are also very typical. The majorera cuisine is simple, but closely linked to the quality of local products.

The island has a strong livestock tradition, and this is very noticeable in its gastronomy. Goat cheese is one of its great emblems, and it appears in both savory dishes and more elaborate recipes. Seafood is also widely consumed, which complements the inland cuisine very well.

Fuerteventura preserves a traditional cuisine that reflects its dry climate and its history of effort and adaptation. Its dishes are usually homemade, nutritious and very representative of island life. Eating on the island is also a way to get to know its cultural identity.
