El Patio Agricultural Museum

The wine and goat's cheese come from the farm itself, and the shop sells both, with jars of mojo on the shelves beside them. Anyone with a sweet tooth should go for the sweet white wine.

Around that, El Patio lays out how a Lanzarote farm worked around 1850. Old farm buildings stand grouped together, with rooms of tools and photographs inside and animals kept in the yard. The grounds are large. Gardens and big cactus plants fill them, and the views reach out across the surrounding countryside, so the walk outdoors is as much a part of the visit as the displays.

• Leave time for the grounds: the gardens, cactus plants and views take up as much of the visit as the indoor displays.
• The farm makes its own wine and goat's cheese; the shop sells both, along with mojo.
• There is a bar on the premises.
• Farm animals live on the grounds, so part of the visit runs through the farmyard.

El Patio stands in Tiagua, a village in the municipality of Teguise in central Lanzarote. By car, the approach ends at a parking area about 65 m from the museum, so there is next to no walking before you reach the farm. By bus, get off at the Iglesia de Tiagua stop, named after the village church and about 290 m away in a straight line, and walk the rest through the village.
