Malpaís De La Arena Walk,La Oliva,Fuerteventura

The departure point of this route begins 800m (going towards Villaverde) from the Cathedral Square in La Oliva, the Plaza de la
Iglesia de la Candelaria de La Oliva, exactly on the crossroads with Calle Los Cabrera. Here you will find a signpost for the
footpath from La Oliva to Lajares (Red de Caminos Naturales de Fuerteventura – Footpath network of Fuerteventura). Some 2 kms further on there is a pleasant rest area with seats in the shade, information boards and, above all, incredible views of the surrounding countryside. You will go in the direction of Lajares, taking a detour to the left which is recognizable by some stone walls in the first section and borders the foot of Mt Arena. The path comes to an end after an hour of walking where you can take a rest on a stone seat situated at the base of the mountain to the southeast and enjoy the panoramic views.
