"We really liked this small museum. It's small but very interesting if you are interested in the history of farming in Fuerteventura.
The woman at the reception was really really nice. The description is in Spanish but they give you translations in different languages. Like English and German. We have our kids my mobile phone and used the camera as Google translate so they could read it in Dutch.
If you're nearby I definitely recommend to go here. Or combine it with the small market on Friday."
