I'd never known a place advertise so much that its citizens were fond of emigrating! But this is a great little place, really interesting, and you get great views over Teguise too!

I think this might just be the most stunning man-made place that i've ever been, I could have stayed all day and kept walking round and discovering more bits. As a slightly odd bonus, you can also learn all about Omar Sharif, who owned the place for less than a day before he lost it in a card game!

What a wonderful place, the castle has been beautifully transformed into a museum, with a great litte collection of art. It's a lovely spot to eat at too, with great views over Arreceife

Not the largest of places and quite pricey at €6 since you won't be there all that long, but just lovely. This house museum was restored majestically by Cesar Manrique and shows the life and lifestyle of a wealthy merchant in the 1730s as well as the period features in the house. Definitely a must-see if you head to the old capital.

My partner and I really enjoyed it here, this is one of the oldest buildings on the island and it's so nice to see the old functional architecture. The archaeological museum is small but informative and I learned so much about the indigenous population before the spanish conquered the island.
