The island institution of Fuerteventura has signed a renewed agreement with the Association of Creative Artisans of Fuerteventura, increasing the financial allocation to €43,000. This funding will enable various actions, including support for the sales point located in the historic Villa de Betancuria.
This space in Betancuria complements the work of the sales point managed by the Council at Fuerteventura Airport, in collaboration with GDR Maxorata. Both centers aim to enhance the commercialization of local artisanal products and promote Majorera craftsmanship among residents and tourists.
These initiatives are part of the Strategic Plan for the Promotion and Dissemination of Craftsmanship in Fuerteventura 2026-2028. This plan has a total funding of €810,000 distributed over three years, aiming to ensure sustained institutional support for the sector.
“"Craftsmanship constitutes a strategic sector of high cultural and economic value for our island, so it is important to articulate these aid lines through a plan that contributes to preserving the competitiveness of this sector, as well as guaranteeing generational succession and job creation linked to craftsmanship."
The Association of Creative Artisans of Fuerteventura acts as the driving force for the sector, bringing together professionals to promote local craftsmanship and defend their interests. Its work includes organizing dissemination activities and managing commercial spaces.
“"A technical perfection that has contributed to enriching the Majorero heritage."
The Council's strategy focuses on consolidating a network of sales points to facilitate access for Majorera artisans to different audiences. The Betancuria space aims to attract visitors from the island's interior, while the airport location ensures visibility to thousands of tourists.
