Casa Museo del Campesino

Amazing place.It is dedicated to the island’s rural traditions, agriculture, crafts, architecture and. Entrance is free. There are a small souvenir shop and a restaurant too.

All the workshops were closed when we arrived at 4pm on a weekday. Things open were the shop selling souvenirs for tourists, toilets and a few outdoor exhibits of agricultural tools and buildings, as well as the ‘monument of fertility’ which is visible from the roundabout. We spent 10 minutes here.

A surprise for us, we didn't realise there was a restaurant here. Excellent food, great service in a lovely setting

Well worth the visit, free entry, nice cafe and little shops.

Beautifully preserved and well laid out with displays of farming machinery. As I visited on a Sunday the workshops were closed but they looked very interesting and I will return to experience those fully. The restaurant looked very popular and was very busy so this is clearly the spot to dine on a Sunday. Stunning function room with stage which could be accessed through a tunnel displaying various artefacts and interesting wall features. All in all, worth a visit.

This forms part of the César Manrique tour, not much to see, but the walkway under the lava with glass windows to see the layers was really interesting, only stopped here for 25 minutes.

Worth a visit if you are interested in the culture, of local crafts, both agricultural and artistic, of the island of Lanzarote. Microcosms of a wider picture of the life of the island. Classes are often run there to give visitors a taste making the local goofier, and sauce making, a very interesting experience

The Casa Museo del Campesino is a cultural landmark located in the municipality of San Bartolomé, in the heart of Lanzarote, Canary Islands. This museum is dedicated to honoring the traditional way of life, craftsmanship, and agricultural heritage of the island’s farmers, who adapted to Lanzarote’s unique volcanic environment. The site features traditional Canarian architecture, with contributions by the renowned artist and architect César Manrique, who incorporated elements that blend seamlessly with Lanzarote’s landscape. One of the highlights of the museum is the Monumento a la Fecundidad (Monument to Fertility), a striking sculpture made of recycled materials, which pays tribute to the resilience of the local farmers. Visitors can explore exhibits showcasing tools, traditional clothing, and the methods used in Lanzarote’s distinctive agriculture, such as the cultivation of crops in volcanic ash. The museum also offers live demonstrations of local crafts, including pottery and basket weaving, as well as a restaurant where guests can sample authentic Canarian cuisine. It’s a must-visit destination to gain insight into Lanzarote’s cultural roots and the ingenuity of its people.
