Descending from the Cueva de Las Palomas towards the hamlet, you can find the Ermita de San Lorenzo (the village celebrates its feast day on 10 August).

The Calderón Hondo is one of the best-preserved craters in Fuerteventura. The volcanic formation lies to the east of the road that leaves Lajares, (municipality of La Oliva) in the direction of Majanicho. Fuerteventura is 30 million years old, so the eruption on the Calderón Hondo – which occurred between 50,000 years and 130,000 years ago – happened relatively recently in the island’s past. Calderón Hondo – together with Bayuyo, Las Calderas, and La Caldera de Lobos – is arranged in a direction northeast to southwest in Fuerteventura. Evidence of volcanic eruptions are found in the island badlands, terrain which can’t be cultivated to this day. The volcanos also created geographical features such as the Lobos islet, the town of El Cotillo, and the sandy extension south of Lajares.

The Colonels’ House (Casa de Los Coroneles), located on the outskirts of the town of La Oliva, capital of the northern municipality of the same name, is a stand-out example of Fuerteventura architecture.

Visitors will be astonished at the gleaming Canarian patio, the majestic wooden balconies, and the towers with battlements (used to defend against pirate incursions). Wandering through galleries and corridors as well as the permanent exhibition – which invites tourists to learn about the history of the house, visitors will be able to relive the stately and military power exercised over centuries from the imposing building.
