What to do and see in Tenerife, Canary Islands: The Best History Museums
Tribal Terenife still shows influence from the aboriginal Gaunches people. Visitors clamber to conquer Mount Teide (Spain’s tallest peak) and to stretch out on the sands of Los Gigantes. Squawk hello to the playful parrots of Loro Park, or brave the petrifying drive to beautiful Masca Valley. For a true taste of Terenife, sample fresh farmhouse cheese and local bananas. A piece of delicate calado canario lace makes a special souvenir.

Excellent museum, detailing the history of the Canary Islands and with some fascinating exhibits - skulls, mummies, cross-section of volcano, archaeological finds, flora and fauna, etc. Well worth a visit.

Reviewed By R4935FDdavidb - El Barco de Avila, Spain
The building is the real star here - it has been beautifully restored and offers a great vision of wealthy life in the Canary islands. Add to this interesting exhibits covering the history of the islands and the life of the inhabitants over the last 500 years and this makes for a very worth while visit. The best of the local museums for my money. Admission was free.
