La Villa de Betancuria, Vega de Río Palmas and the areas around those two sites were lately updated within the propose of delivery and Improvement of Hiking Paths Netprojection in Fuerteventura, created by Fuerteventura's Cabildo and financed by the Ministry of Environment and Rural and Marine Areas.

Plan was firstly carried out in the municipality of Puerto del Rosario on paths in Tefía and Casillas del Ángel, then it was in the municipality of Betancuria that paths were fixed. Those paths are regularly used by thousands of pilgrims who participate every year in Fuerteventura's Virgen de la Peña celebrations.

One basic side of this propose is the creation of signs on all 15 routes that will guide users precisely along the paths. The correct location of those signs is basic in order to homologate those routes as natural paths, which means that they will be included in national hiking guides. The plan is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

The projection to be carried out consists of marking the edges of the paths, with its precise amount of surface, fix the areas of drainage, add ...
... some paved areas to stop the paths collapsing with erosion, and finally add homologated signs required on all 15 routes.

One of the basic guidelines of the plan is to consider the original paths as long as the owners of the land allow it. This proposal also brings a positive repercussion on the island's rural areas as it will liven them up, improve the added value of rural areas of the island and promote hiking and natural tourism.
