We had a tour of the museum given by an excellent guide. His stories were captivating. This really gave us a great appreciation for the various phases of Aruba economic activity — gold, aloe, phosphate, oil, tourism. Pretty amazing to see that eagle beach used to be the site of an oil refinery.

A friend recommended we take a few hours and visit the wall paintings in San Nicolas and we certainly did not regret it. We found the wall-paintings on the library building amazing along with some 20+ other fantastic murals! Some city benches are made with mosaic designs - really beautiful! It is free to visit so the price is right! The staff at the Cosecha is pleasant and most helpful. We would definitely go back for another visit.
