Perfect place to enjoy the genuine Fuerteventura with families
Perfect place to enjoy the genuine Fuerteventura with families
We stayed at La Gayria Agroturismo for two weeks over X-mas and New Years 2013. It was a marvelous experience. In fact, it was already the second time we stayed with the Santana family, but La Gayria Agroturismo surpassed our expectations and wishes.
We enjoy staying away from the mainstream resorts, enjoy the countryside, the local culture and see a lot. With two small children it isn't always easy to find a good spot nor a heartwarming place where you feel really welcome and part of the family. La Gayria does that!
Located in Tiscamanita in the middle of the island you are wellplaced to visit all beaches and touristic highlights within 45 minutes by car but normally it takes less time. With breathtaking and tipical volcano La Gayria next door you don't even have to drive - instead you hike and climb up in little over an hour from your frontdoor (no trail - just go for it!). With Casa Luis and other small tipical restaurants just within 5 minutes driving you can enjoy the tipical goat and meat dishes. For freshly caught fish you go to one of the villages like Gran Tarajal, las Playitas, Ajuy or Pozo Negro. But cooking at La Gayria is very much possible with its well equiped casas rurales.
For the kids, there are donkeys to be fed, goats and sheep to watch and touch and lots of room to run and play around. There is a small pool, which was to cold in winter and is not especially designed for small kids. But in summer this must be relaxing as well, although it can never compete with al the beaches.
The lodging in basic but at the same time luxurious if you take into consideration space, tipical decoration and style. Prices are very good.
But above all the warm and personal attention of Pepe, Magdalena and Damaris during the entire stay makes staying at La Gayria a genuine pleasure. We definitely recommend La Gayria to both couples and families looking to enjoy the quiet rural character of Fuerteventura!

Nice people, beautiful casa, good food, lovely weather and special birds
Nice people, beautiful casa, good food, lovely weather and special birds
In november 2012 we stayed at casa La Gayria in Tiscamanita on the isle of Fuerteventura. Tiscamanita is ideally situated in the middle of the island, and (luckily) far away from the big tourists centers. We loved the casa, with its (very small) winery and beautiful rooms with a real 'agro feel'.The owner, Pepe Santana, was very kind and invited us on sunday, with many other people, for a lunch with his own wine ánd nice food on the casa. When we told him that we were birdwatchers, he took us to a feeding station for Egyptian Vulture (Gayria) nearby the village. Here we saw 20-25 of these beautiful birds, a speciality of Fuerteventura, and this feeding station is established to help these birds survive in modern times.
Tiscamanita has two restaurants. Both good, but our favorite was Casa Louis, Very good (and much!) traditional food, for very reasonable prices, and including the very special coffee of Louis! We also liked the windmill museum.
Fuerteventura is dry and barren, not a beautiful tropical island. But it has its very special birds, As the only island in the whole of Europa it has one bird species that can't be found anywhere else on the world: the Canary Island Stonechat. In fact this bird was discovered for science very near Tiscamanita, at Tuineje, at the end of the 19th century. This tiny bird is not rare and can be found especially in the 'barrancos'. We could make some good pictures.
Another speciality is the Houbara. This beautiful bird is heavenly hunted almost near extinction in Arabian countries. On Fuertenventura (and Lanzarote, elsewhere in the Canaries it is extinct) the Houbara's seem safe. The birds are very shy and wary and we did extensive searches. In the end we saw some Houbara's near La Oliva, El Cottillo and Antigua. No photo's of the birds, but we were happy to see signs near the roads/tracks which houbare on it ans warning not to get off the tracks.
As nature lovers and fond of ruralturismo we strongly recommend Casa Gayria.

The Real Fuerteventura
The Real Fuerteventura
The Agroturismo La Gayria is a wonderful way to get a glimpse of the real Fuerteventura - away from the tourist resorts. The house itself is has been skillfully restored and is very comfortable, the kitchen well equipped and the owner Pepe Sanatana extremetly helpful. He is passionate about his island, and the importance that sustainable tourism holds for Fuerteventura and gave very useful advice about the area. We stayed on a half board basis - eating wonderfully in the nearby village of Tiscamanita - with memorable suppers at Casa Luis and breakfasts at the neighboring cafe of Tio Pepe. Being a travel journalist I have stayed in many places throughout the world - but I have to say that my stay at Casa Tamasite and the people I met there and in the village of Tiscamanita easily place it easily amongst my top ten locations for a relaxing break.

Hola ,
Nuestro veraneo en “La Gayria” (Tiscamanita) del 16 al 21 de junio 2017 fue un placer .
El alojamiento “El Yugo” nos encanto ; està muy bien restaurado y es muy agradable, con su interior muy funcional, su amplio patio, sus jardines alrededor, la piscina muy conveniente ; las instalaciones de calidad para los animales ; un verdadero paraiso .
Ademàs de ser un sitio guapísimo con mucha quietud, este lugar nos permitio descubrir varios sitios maravillosos de Fuerteventura .
Sus paisajes desiertos y salvajes, sus molinos y pueblitos típicos, y los diversos sitios costeros .
Entre ambos :
Gran Tarajal
Punta y Faro de Jandia
Playa de Cofete : una maravilla ?!! ..ademas muy animado el dia de la Romeria….?
El maravilloso pueblo de Betancuria
La Oliva (Casa de los Coroneles)
El Cotillo y el Faro del Toston
La Isla de Lobos (un paraíso para bucear)
Corralejo (su parque natural con preciosas dunas)
Ajuy
La Pared
Visita de la fabrica de Aloe Vera en Tuineje
Las Playitas
Etc….
Tambien hemos dizfrutado de la comida casera típica de Canarias (un saludo especial ? al excelente Restaurante Casa Luis en Tiscamanita… ambiente muy agradable y comida estupenda +++)
Excelentes recuerdos de nuestra estancia en Fuerteventura .
Hasta pronto .
Muy cordialmente

È stata una vacanza speciale ed unica in un luogo magico.
il soggiorno è stato a dir poco meraviglioso immerso nella natura e gli animali e con una gestione famigliare fantastica.
I proprietari sono molto gentili , ci hanno accolto splendidamente.
Luogo pulito e che dire di più, venire e provare questa vacanza piena di emozioni.
Ringrazio i proprietari per il loro lavoro e sicuramente farò una buona pubblicità.
Un caro saluto a tutti e a presto

Agroturismo La Gayría, is located in the center of the island of Fuerteventura, in the village of Tiscamanita, belonging to the municipality of Tuineje and located next to the natural monument of La Gayría caldera.
We are a small family business that we have Casa Rural TAMASITE and Agroturismo La Gayría, our concern has always been to create a small museum and expose the antiques we had from our ancestors. Seeing that in Fuerteventura, the cultural and ethnographic values were missing from the tourists who visited us, we decided in 2003 to restore the TAMASITE House and in 2008 the La Gayría Rural Farmhouse. At present we have seven rural houses, in both complexes and our satisfaction is to make known all the values of Fuerteventura.
