Majorero Landscape Grows in Harmony and Tradition

“Fuerteventura, Beautiful by Nature” completes work in one of the Agua de Bueyes sectors and moves to the next, starting the cut in the El Mudo ravine.

The Cabildo of Fuerteventura, through its Service of Works and Machinery, has tasked the crews attached to the “Fuerteventura, Beautiful by Nature” program to begin work on the dry‑stone walls of the El Mudo ravine in Tiscamanita, and to continue in Agua de Bueyes on the next assigned sector once the previous one is finished.

In this strategy, coordination and collaboration between the Cabildo and the municipalities—particularly the technical and professional resources of Antigua and Tuineje—are essential.

“In this way, by combining municipal and island resources, the crews multiply their impact for the restoration of stone walls, the regeneration of traditional cultivated lands, and the conservation of our landscapes,” said the island president.

Blas Acosta, the Councillor for Works and Machinery of the Cabildo of Fuerteventura, explained:

“After a year of working on ravines, gullies and dams through ‘Beautiful by Nature’ and in coordination with municipal services, today we can admire the resurgence of our identity landscape, such as the dry‑stone walls.”

He added:

“Enhancing an image as rare as it is desired of the Majorero countryside in full bloom.”

Specialized crews of “Fuerteventura, Beautiful by Nature” are now advancing the recovery of dry‑stone walls and the clearing and rehabilitation of gullies for cultivation in both the El Mudo ravine and Agua de Bueyes. In the restoration or replacement of dry‑stone masonry, the same local stone is used so that these structures blend seamlessly into their surroundings, remaining faithful to the tradition and idiosyncrasy that originally built them.
