La Oliva

Few towns in the Canary Islands have a history as closely tied to military administration as La Oliva. Once the seat of Fuerteventura’s colonels, it is marked by the Casa de los Coroneles, a substantial historic residence that reflects the authority once exercised over the island. La Oliva stands amid the dry, volcanic terrain of northern Fuerteventura, while its municipality reaches the Atlantic at Corralejo and El Cotillo. The Corralejo Natural Park is known for its extensive dunes, and nearby Tindaya mountain held spiritual importance for the island’s pre-Hispanic inhabitants.
