An interesting journey through the history of the windmills in Fuerteventura. This unique experience will make you discover among other things the importance that was given to the grain from Prehistoric Times in the Island, the "Gofio" as an essential nutrient for the "Majorero" people over centuries or learning how to make the difference between a male or a female windmill.

We visited the windmill & information centre quite by chance & what a wonderful little place it is!We were briefly shown the rooms with some verbal information then left to our own devices to explore. The rooms & information are bilingual & have good pictures & models & there is a video to watch at the end.The windmill itself is lovely to explore & a great photo opportunity in the grounds.We had a demonstration of how to make ‘gofio’ & best of all tasted it! The best part of the visit was Gemma on the desk who initially welcomed us with a big smile & was so enthusiastic about the visitor centre.She was also kind enough to give us lots of information about places to visit on the rest of the island. This place is only small but well worth the €4 entrance fee. Our thanks to Gemma for a great visit .

Reviewed By Warhol40 - Brotton, United Kingdom
Arrived here mid morning and on approach there were other tourists/visitors to the place. The museum has lots of information to hand and the staff are all very knowledgeable. Great demonstration and dissection of a Aloe Vera leaf showing you just where the goodness lies. Gift shop and also a little try of the cream, which made my elbows lovely and soft!
