This should be part of an adventure not the adventure. 1hr slow drive along a rough gravel roads that snake around a truly spectacular coastline. An adventure in itself. 1st stop was the villa. Looked closed but we walked around the perimeter and was met by Pedro. He gave us a private tour explaining how the villa was used by the German Officers as a base for an underground a submarine complex (during WW2) under the villa, which was a bit of an eye opener, backed up by Pedro stamping in the garden on what seemed like a trap door leading to the subterranean dock. This wetted the appetite for the museum room full of Nazi memorabilia. not what I was expecting. The Nazi uniforms looked fake. We then got lead down into the basement which wasn’t really a basement as it was full of windows that looked out over the countryside but boarded up to make it look dark and mysterious. Then we saw an an experiment laboratory ,an oven that burned bodies, and torture cells. All of which happened during WW2 but you need to ask yourself did it happen here ? I would recommend going and making your own mind up. 2nd stop was the beech, great waves to dive into but beware currents. Waves, mountains and golden beaches as far as the eye can see made for stunning scenery. 3rd stop was the grave yard. Beautiful wooden doors to a very unusual grave yard. A nice place to be laid to rest. In conclusion I would not recommend driving 50 minutes just for the winter house but by visiting the other landmarks and enjoying the scenery, the winter house can be part of...

Reading lots of bad comments from people who did not even bother to do some research. The house belonged to Gustav Winter, German and, depending on the source, related to the German NS.

Nowadays the house is kept by Pedro, grandson of one of the people in charge of the house in the 50s/60s. He wants to show the world what really happened there.

Some sources says that was an agricultural land, and the house was only a kind of farm. Other says it belonged to the NS, due to Francisco Franco gave Fuerteventura to the German leaders as part of the payment for all the guns, tanks, planes, etc given during Spanish civil War.

In my opinion, after visiting the basement and under it, that can never be a "farm"... 1m 20 cms wide concrete walls. Windows to allow the light come in but nobody to see inside. Ceilings metal reinforced like in any WW2 bunker. Arched hallways... What some people calls the kitchen, it is exactly to Auschwitz autopsy room, with one oven but space for another and two chimneys exits. And the most scariest thing, under the "kitchen" 7 or 8 cells with its bunks, a small room with a little door which Pedro says they kept childs there, and a torture room.

100% worth the visit, and remember is kept by a person with no resources, trying to show the world what his grandfather told him and many locals...

Sono stato per giorni a Cofete, la località che ospita Casa Winter, dove ho conosciuto Pedro Fumero. Mi sono ricreduto anche su quanto effettivamente riportato sulla casa dall'enciclopedia, infatti molte notizie e dati sono da rivedere. Per primo la data di costruzione della casa, che è stata completata prima della seconda guerra mondiale, quindi nel '38 o addirittura nel '36 e non nel '46. Non ha senso, infatti chi poteva finanziare dopo la II guerra mondiale un punto così strategico per il 3º Reich? In secondo luogo la casa aveva altre finalità e non certamente quella agricola, laddove non cresce alcun tipo di coltura e l'acqua è completamente assente. Lo stesso Pedro, che rivendica per sé la casa ed i terreni, ha provato a coltivare la terra senza esito alcuno. La casa aveva vari scopi, il primo era quello di avamposto o testa di ponte per la traversata dell'atlantico sia per scopi diplomatici o esplorazioni in Africa e in Sud America, ma anche per eventuali fughe dei gerarchi. Il lato nord della casa con funzione di vedetta ben si coniuga con una torre di controllo per una pista ancora visibile dall'alto e su google maps. Possiedo un brevetto di volo per aerei da turismo e mi sono premunito delle mappa ed ho percorso la pista, infatti è stata liberata da tutti i massi più grossi ed è stata tracciata per alcune centinaia di metri in direzione per atterraggio e decollo in direzione nord/ovest fronte vento, lato mare in diagonale alla spiaggia. Grazie alla disponibilità di Pedro ed a una amicizia nata per reciproca simpatia, ho potuto visitare tutta la casa ... quello che mi ha colpito di più sono i sotterranei, le celle ed il laboratorio autoptico (spero), ma per approfondire vi invito a vedere sui social e su YouTube i documenti, foto e filmati postati da Pedro sul Tag "la historia esta para contarla". Anche la figura di Gustav Winter è da riscrivere, non solo ingegnere ma anche tenente colonnello con funzioni di spia e di raccordo con il franchismo. Certo è difficile pensare che una persona così a modo facesse parte del Reich, ma non dimentichiamo che tutti i tedeschi erano stati richiamati per una sola finalità, l'esaltazione della razza arianna. Tutti, ripeto, tutti i tedeschi, dovevano contribuire alla grandezza e magnificenza del popolo tedesco. In ultimo e fondamentale aspetto è la funzione di base per i sottomarini u-boot, sia durante il conflitto che per la fuga dei nazisti verso il sud america. Qui faccio un inciso in cui non dirò se esiste o no il tunnel segreto, se esiste non potrebbe permettere ad un sottomarino il transito, le dimensioni sarebbero troppo piccole per permetterlo, però quello che ho visto sulla piana e dopo essermi immerso con le bombole da sub, mi basta per dire con certezza che dal mare alla casa è possibile transitare senza passare dalla superficie. Dall'immersione ho trovato, seguendo una linea indicatami da Pedro, dai pescatori di Cofete e con enorme meraviglia, l'imbocco sottomarino. La linea calcolata era coincidente con tutti i cunicoli e tombini visitati con Pedro, spero mi perdoni per questo segreto svelato, ma la villa è piena ancora di misteri, alcuni agghiaccianti, se risultassero veri, altri sorprendenti, come quello della plastica facciale ad uno dei più importanti gerarchi, morto in Uruguay all'età di 96 anni con il nome di Juan Ernesto G.....a, questa è una notizia che neanche Pedro può sapere! Grazie per l'attenzione. Il testo e le foto sono coperte da copyright potete utilizzarle facendo riferimento all'autore Ghilian...
