Fuerteventura culture - once and then The history of Fuerteventura is the story of a dying town that comes back to life from night to day. More precisely, at the end of the 1970s, when tourism really triggered a boom on the island. Today, almost more tourists live on the island than actual islanders. When tourism chose Fuerteventura as its preferred vacation destination, major investments were made in the island's main towns to ensure good infrastructure and connectivity. Today, tourism is the island's most important source of income.

But that is the present, Fuerteventura also has a past. A past that was shaped by the Aborigines until the island was conquered by the Reino de Castilla (Castilian Empire) around the XV century. At this time, the island received new inhabitants who settled in the Villa de Betancuria, the center of the island at the time.
