Perez Galdos House Museum

Interesting visit of the house and the exposition of Josefina de la Torre

Excellent reproduction of the homes of Benito Perez Galdós from the 19th century. Includes representations of rooms from his Santander house and a copy of the famous painting of him by Sorolla. The exhibitions in the museum are only in Spanish, but the tour is given in both Spanish and English. The tour guide was very informative, and gets extra marks for having been reading one of Galdós' books when we arrived... Entry is free the first weekend of each month, but anyway, the small entrance fee is worth paying.

Lovingly restored home and deeply illuminating aspects of this great man new to me. Guide was a true enthusiast, hugely knowledgeable and well able to explain. All in Spanish of course.

Interesting artist and his life/ unfortunately my translator couldn't work because of the internet / and it's also extra to go into the main living quarters (€12)

Simply the best guided tour I have had! The staff were extremely helpful, friendly and polite! It’s a must visit! I highly recommend it.

We've had an amazing experience in this museum. We even had the guided tour around the house and the guide was very nice to speak both Spanish and English as our group was multilingual.

Time for opening stated as Tuesday to Saturday from 10 am to 6pm. We arrived around midday and place was closed. Disappointed we couldn't see it. No information outside as to why it was shut.

Beautiful house (a well-maintained sample of Gran Canaria's 18th century architecture). An interesting collection of the novelist's personal memorabilia AND a very fine portrait by the great painter, Sorolla. A detail I found interesting was the water filtration system. A large bowl hung in a niche that was carved from local pumice. A bucket from the deep well downstairs is poured into it & filters through to a clay pot beneath ready to drink
