CASA EMBLEMÁTICA/RURAL CASA DEL CUARTEL
Rural accommodation on Calle La Orilla, in the historic centre of La Oliva, in the north of Fuerteventura. The building dates from the 18th century and follows the majorera house model: a cubic volume with an inner courtyard and a water cistern. It is divided into four independent dwellings, three with two bedrooms and one with a single bedroom, each with a terrace, an equipped kitchen and a patio. It is listed as a casa emblemática for its architectural and historical value.
Casa del Cuartel stands on Calle La Orilla, inside the historic centre of La Oliva, in the north of Fuerteventura. Its construction is placed in the 18th century and follows the traditional majorera house model: a cubic volume with the courtyard set inside and a cistern to collect water, the arrangement that made domestic life workable on a dry island.
The building has been divided into four independent dwellings, three with two bedrooms and one with a single bedroom, each with its own terrace, equipped kitchen and patio. Its listing as a casa emblemática rests on its architectural features and on the historical weight the building carries for Fuerteventura. It sits in the same old town as the Casa de los Coroneles and the rest of La Oliva's heritage ensemble.
