Ecomuseo de la Alcogida — Attraction in Puerto del Rosario

This small museum aims to give an overview of what life on Fuerteventura might have looked like in recent history (19th/early 20th century). It consists of a number of small buildings clustered together which collectively offer a glimpse into a time when Fuerteventura wasn't just a tourist destination.

It costs five euros per adult and we spent over an hour there, slowly wandering around the different buildings. Although the English translations provided are absolutely atrocious, it's not too difficult to discern what each room represents from the pictures and artefacts on show. A fun bonus is that there is a donkey and some goats to see/smell!

It feels a little bit run down but overall it's worth visiting if you're passing...

This was the best part for us as there is more than meets the eye. For me the interesting part was the focus on local traditional technologies - water and grain storage, water filtration, milling etc.

A must see if visiting Fuerteventura.

The tour was in Spanish and we're not fluent in it but we were still able to understand almost everything, and we thank our guide...

Inside you will find ladies, producing typical products with historic techniques and machines, that you can buy to.

If you have a good command in Spanish, they will very friendly show you more and let you...
