About this cottage rental
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.

Very peaceful, lovely farm. The cottages are comfortable and well-equipped, set around a beautiful old courtyard. The host was very friendly and sent excellent directions. So glad we found this lovely place in an ideal location for exploring all corners of the island.

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 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.
