10 Art Museums in Canary Islands That You Shouldn't Miss
The sun-drenched Canary Islands lie close to North Africa and have an exotic flavor of their own. Hundreds of volcanoes, rolling sand dunes, rich forests and rugged cliffs dapple these seven Atlantic gems. Catch a ferry to Lanzarote. Ride a camel through volcanic Timanfaya National Park. Take on Tenerife, home of Mount Teide, Spain's tallest peak. Romp Grand Canary's beaches or hike La Gomera's Garajonay National Park. More adventures await on tiny El Hierro, verdant La Palma and peaceful Fuerteventura.

We went to see Cristina De Vera exhibition which was a kind of pointillism style - I liked the two landscape paintings of Toledo best. Other unusual paintings on display. Building had amazing wooden floors and ceilings. Free after 5 on Friday afternoons.

Welcoming studio for both beginners and experienced painters to connect with their creative side - a very enoyable addition to our beach holiday - will definately be back on our next trip to Tenerife. We booked 2 morning sessions for our family comprising 1 painter adult, 1 arty teen and 2 amateur adults who hadn't picked up a brush in decades. We were all welcomed by Natalia who got us started in no time and showed great sensitivity for when to make suggestions and when to let us enjoy the peace of becoming absorbed in our work. The time flew by and we all left with our paintings to gift or as mementos. Our fellow artists were a mix of Brits, Spanish and German and we all jogged along in a relaxed and puposeful atmosphere. Thank you Natalia for bringing depth and colour to our beach holiday.

For history buffs this is a must see. The travels of the Nina,Pinta, and Santa Maria are all on display with replicas of the boats and a life-size replica of a cabin so you can imagine what it was like to travel back then and explore new worlds. Fascinating history with photos, provision lists, artifacts and more

This monographic museum has experienced a long history of over 40 years within the cultural environment of this town and the island. Settled in the former workshop of the artist, it contains the most complete collection of Padrón's works.

Well worth a visit for the architecture alone. Smallish exhibition space with edgy contemporary and varied content. Very restorative.
