Here you are a interesting place for visit in your fuerteventura holidays.

Tindaya is a mountain in the spanish town of La Oliva (Fuerteventura Island, Canary Islands), and which has a special historical and archaeological interest in the amount of rock carvings found there. Tindaya was a sacred place for aboriginal people of Fuerteventura, the “majos”, who carved on it with over 300 prints or podomorfos foot shapes. The prints podomorfos are present in other islands of the Canaries and in Bereber cultural hinterlands.

Tindaya has been declared of cultural interest. Besides its historical value, the mountain has been recognized as a Natural Monument and Point of Interest by the Administration Geological canaria. Nevertheless, the high ornamental value of trachyte stone has made Tindaya been exploited until recently.

In 1993 the artist Eduardo Chillida did a sculpture on the mountain of Tindaya, which would be a big empty bucket inside the mountains and hollows to the outside. This project provokes the reaction of various environmental groups and conservationists who claim that they would endanger both the “structure” of the mountain (due to emptying) and the prints left by majos podomorfos. Furthermore, a series of alleged irregularities and corruption lead to policies known as “Tindaya Case”, filed for justice.
