The village of Tetir in Fuerteventura

Tetir is 9.5 km northwest of the capital of the island, Puerto del Rosario. The resort is located on the FV-10 road, the old main road linking Puerto del Rosario to Corralejo.

Shortly before Tetir on the FV-10 road was the old airport of the island, in the resort of Los Estancos; the track of the airport led straight on the road and traffic had to be stopped at each takeoff and each landing aircraft. On the left side of the road you can still see the two buildings of the old airport that are still standing.

On the vast Plaza Juan Rodriguez, where stands the church of St. Dominic, a statue recalls that Juan Rodriguez y Gonzáles (1825-1893), the founder of the Bank of the Canaries (Banco de Canarias), was born in Tetir. Another statue honors timple player (a stringed instrument typical of the Canary Islands), a sculpture by Juan Miguel Cubas.

It is hard to imagine that this little town was asleep even - until 1925 - the joint capital of which was the current party capital of the island, Puerto del Rosario, who was then called Puerto de Cabras. But Puerto de Cabras, whose population had increased significantly, became an independent municipality in 1835; the rivalry between the two towns gave rise between the years 1876 and 1899, a series of territorial conflicts which were finally resolved in favor of Tetir. But in 1926, it is Tetir - and Casillas del Ángel - which was included in the municipality of Puerto de Cabras.

The interior of the church contains a beautiful baroque altarpiece of the eighteenth century, partly gilded, with interesting paintings.

The festivities of St. Dominic held on August 4 at Tetir.
