Parque Natural de Corralejo
, Corralejo, SpainHow did the dunes of Corralejo form?
Almost 90% of the composition of these dune sands has a high carbonate content. This indicates that the main source of the sediments is of marine origin.
The eruption of the mountains Roja, Pajarita and Mal Nombre, which are located only behind the dunes, caused the emission of a significant amount of lava. A large part of them reached the sea. There was also a retreat of the coastline. These volcanic cones, together with their badlands, form a natural barrier and the bed on which the dunes lie.
There is a false belief that the sands of the Corralejo dunes originate from the neighboring Sahara desert, but their origin is much closer.
The dunes were built with the essentially organogenic sea sand, which was brought to the coast from the shallow areas of the Bocaina Strait and its surroundings.
Once on land, the trade winds push the sand inward, forming and shaping the dunes.

Playa Ajuy
Barranco de Ajuy, SpainTHE Walk to the caves !
The oldest rock formations in the Canary Islands
The oldest rock formations in the Canary Islands come to the surface in the Ajuy Caves, which have been declared a Natural Monument and are located in the town of the same name, north of the village of Pájara.
This geological wonder consists of observing with the naked eye the deposits that formed in the ocean floor during the Cretaceous period, between 100 and 150 million years ago. It is a mystery, because the formation of Fuerteventura dates back to approximately 30 million years ago.
Access to the caves is a remarkable experience, because you walk along a fossilized sand dune, and along the way you can see some old lime kilns, which are unique because the stones were shipped directly into the sea.
In the area around Ajuy you will also find places of interest such as the Canarian palm grove of Madre del Agua, along the same ravine that the conquistadors crossed 600 years ago,.45 minutes • Admission Ticket IncludedView Location3

The protected landscape of Vallebrón is located between the towns of La Oliva and Puerto del Rosario, in the north of the island of Fuerteventura. It is a geomorphological entity that is representative of the island and of great landscape value.
It covers an area of almost 1,680 hectares, which represents 3.5% of the protected area of the island. Vallebrón forms a landscape characterised by an elongated ridge with a knife-shaped relief, flanked by two large U-shaped ravines, Valle Largo and Valle Chico.
