If you are looking for a change from hanging out at the beach, this is it! We have compiled infos and links to fun and interesting museums across Lanzarote.
Wine Museum
The most visited museum in Lanzarote is the Wine Museum near San Bartolomé. It is part of El Grifo Winery which is one of the 10 oldest vineyards of Spain. Why not take a tour of the old cellars with it´s original 18th century machinery, then shop for a liquid souvenir and take a look at the vineyard with it´s unique cultivation system. The grape vines are planted on volcanic soil surrounded by walls of volcanic rock to ward of the heavy winds.

M.I.A.C. Museo de Arte Contemporáneo
The museum is located in the Castillo de San José, a fortress from the 18th Century built by King Carlos III. The little castle was decaying until Cesar Manrique had the idea to preserve the ancient walls and turn it into a museum. He not only designed the entrance and exhibition walls, but also you will find many of his own creations there along with works of many famous Spanish artists as well as international ones.
