Ensenada de Pozo Negro

Very close to the urban center of Antigua is a wonderful place called Pozo Negro. One of those points away from the tourist centers full of magic and charm, perfect place to disconnect completely and not be overwhelmed by the crowds. Pozo Negro is a fishing village that historically has been dedicated to inshore fishing and goat farming mainly, with a natural cove that during the fifteenth century was one of the main port of the island. The beach is barely 300 meters long and the width is variable but around 12 meters, nearby, just 2 kilometers away is the old aboriginal town of La Atalaya.

The beach has a low occupation throughout the year, it is a bit windy and has a moderate swell, the best thing that this small beach offers is the tranquility and peace that is breathed throughout the area.

The beach is not the only thing that Pozo Negro offers, around the other points of interest and value, one of them is the aboriginal town of La Atalayit< a. This point is one of the most important in Fuerteventura, it was a town inhabited by the majos, who were the natives of the island until the arrival of the conquerors. Taking a short walk in the surroundings you can visit a gambuesa (a construction to save the coastal cattle and that were in the mountainous areas of the area) or the wells where you can enjoy magnificent baths.
The port of Pozo Negro was used as the arrival point of some of the expeditions to Barberia whose objective was to rescue the canaries that were captive in Africa. In the area of Pozo Negro there are a couple of restaurants where you can take any snack.
