Betancuria—the former capital of Fuerteventura and one of the towns with the greatest historical significance in the Canary Islands—preserves a culinary tradition deeply rooted in the island’s landscape, its seafaring heritage, and the use of local resources in a region shaped by the ocean and the Atlantic climate. Among its most iconic recipes is sancocho canario, a dish that is part of the islands’ culinary identity and continues to hold a special place on tables throughout Fuerteventura.
