Who prefers wandering around narrow alleys, getting amazed by magnificent cathedrals, admiring flowers in the windows of the citizen houses and their architectural masterpieces, finds no luck on Fuerteventura. There are really few ostentatious historical buildings to be found. The first town founded on Fuerteventura was Betancuria. It was founded in 1405 by the Norman conqueror Jaean de Béthencourt.
