Ajuy is a small remote fishing village in the west coast of Fuerteventura. Not far from Ajuy is where the Norman Jean de Béthencourt landed in order to conquer the island for the Spanish crown.

Puerto de la Peña is a small settlement of Ajuy and used to serve as a port of the old island capital of Betancuria. The port was later raided by pirates. Ajuy features a black-sanded beach that is circled and are surrounded between the mountains and the small hills to the east. Caleta Negra (Spanish for "Black Bay") lies 2 km from Ajuy. About 600 m lies a dark caves within the rocks. Over the caves lies the panorama of limestones, which were not just a hiding place for pirates but was used as a lime deposit.

The lime from the Ajuy limestones were considerably and particularly pure and up to the second half of the 19th century, was shipped from this cave.
