Some of you will know I'm very interested in the history of the island's people, and wished there was more information available. We went to the agricultural museum in Tiagua today, and we both agreed that it is the best "attraction" in Lanzarote, and the only one where you feel like you are seeing Lanzarote before tourism - a rural delight. Essentially it is a 200 year old farm where about 20 people worked until around 1950. It has indoor museums, reconstructed interior scenes, superb gardens and arbours, three windmills, two camel powered mills, wine presses, a bodega, and goats and camels in a yard, and chickens, ducks and peacocks wandering about. Absolutely superb. If you are coming on holiday this Christmas, take the time to see it. €5 for visitors, €4 for residents. It really needs some more money spending on it so that more of the buildings can be brought into use, including the splendid main farmhouse, but it receives no money from the Cabildo. What a pity.
