We tell about the history of Fuerteventura and the others of the Islands of the Blissfuls, nowadays called Canary Islands.The history till this day never was written or described in this manner.
Majorero roots emanated from the past, the high influence of the Catholic Church and finally the conqueror's hand in the XVth century, initialising the definite change of the island's destiny and this one of the native population for ever.

We thought, that it's very important to include the information about the accessibility at the museums, centers and other mentioned sights and places for the disabled, with reduced mobility or persons in wheelchairs, older persons and families with children or babies. This information can be found directly in one of the head lines, where is mentioned the buildings' access and the interior's condition, if corresponding, indicated by three diversified signs and which can be distinguished by a simple view. Includes a short description of the obstacle, if corresponding, which could be come up against the visitor.
The chapter of the Historical Patrimony is divided in three important themes, which have had a notable influence in the economics and the main evolution of the island of Fuerteventura.
The compilation of the history of the flour mills, the limekilns and its respective stories, exemplified written and visually completed with images, which nowadays counts as historical document of the past centuries on this island, turistical exploited in this modern times. A dozen of windmills and about 150 of limekilns still give evidence of past times.
The hermits and churches are valuable narrators of an era, dominated by the Catholic Church. The chapter of 'Christian Buildings' stands as reference for the hermits and Parish churches on the Majorero territory, completed with many beautous photos.
