Cueva Pintada, after which the site was named, was discovered in the mid 19th century and is part of a group of artificial caves excavated in the volcanic rock.. Its geometrical motifs make it the most unique representation of the Pre-Hispanic wall paintings, an exceptional testimony of the artistic and symbolic expression of the people of the Canary Islands. Excavations made here since 1987 until today have confirmed the fact that Cueva Pintada used to be part of a village with over fifty houses and artificial caves dating back from the 6th to the 16th centuries.The remains of the indigenous village of Cueva Pintada can be admired from a walkway surrounding those structures preserved, which allows visitors to look at the detail of the houses and indigenous caves.

Antonio Padrón Museum-House: As indigenous research and art centre, this institution belongs to the Gran Canaria Island Council, created with the aim to acquire, preserve, study, exhibit and disseminate the works from this painter born in Gáldar (Gran Canaria) and the movement that raised the need of founding a Canary art tradition which could reflect both island identity features and a way of seeing Nature and interpreting its social reality from the indigenous side. 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.

Very well made and dramatic video presentations showing life of the pre-conquistador population on the Canaries. Makes it easier to then envision their life when seeing the remains of their buildings. You can also go inside reconstructed dwellings. Good guides!
