District capital La Oliva with its approx. 1,200 inhabitants is surrounded by large, beautiful olive trees, hence its name.

The “Casa de los Coroneles” is located just outside of La Oliva on the eastern outskirts. The fortress-like building impresses with its large number of windows and wooden balconies. The Cabrera Béthencourt family commissioned the building, which was also the seat of the island’s supreme commander until the 19th century.EL COTILLO
El Cotillo, the original coastal town, is far away from the hustle and bustle. In the alleys of the old harbor district of El Cotillo, fishermen meet individual tourists and wealthy majoreros. The most beautiful beaches are here. Simple and sophisticated gastronomy go hand in hand. Handicrafts and tapas bars characterize the old town. In August, the village comes to life when the big “Fiesta Virgen del Buen Viaje” rises.
