A low-slung bus climbs a rough ribbon of tarmac through Jandía Nature Park and the island opens beneath you — a wind-carved plateau falling away to raw Atlantic surf. The driver eases to a stop at a high pass; the island’s spine drops into a sweeping view that feels both ancient and immediate. From here the tour threads a narrow road toward the mysterious Villa Winter, a stubborn stone house with wartime rumors and a desert wind that never seems to sleep.

Villa Winter was built by German engineer Gustav Winter in the 1940s and has attracted local lore about wartime activity and strategic use, making it a cultural curiosity more than an official historic site.
Conservation
Cofete’s dune systems and turtle nesting beaches are fragile—stay on designated paths, avoid disturbing wildlife, and pack out all waste to protect breeding habitat.

Some small vendors in Morro Jable may be cash-only and tours require ID for booking confirmation or pickup.
