Discover Casa-Museo del Campesino: A Tribute to Lanzarote’s Tradition and Culture
Located in the geographical center of Lanzarote, in the municipality of San Bartolomé, the Casa-Museo del Campesino is César Manrique’s tribute to the farmers of the island, who faced the most challenging conditions to bring life to the land.
The Casa-Museo del Campesino offers a journey through traditional architecture, agriculture, crafts, and gastronomy, and is completed by the Monumento a la Fecundidad (Monument to Fertility), an avant-garde work where Manrique paid his personal homage.
CASA-MUSEO DEL CAMPESINO RESTAURANT
The restaurant offers a tasting of traditional dishes and flavors from the island’s cuisine, such as millet broth, goat stew, octopus with green mojo, and the famous Canarian wreckfish stew, all prepared with fresh, local market ingredients and paired with the largest selection of wines from the Lanzarote Designation of Origin.
For cheese lovers, we offer a carefully selected variety of fresh, semi-cured, and cured Lanzarote cheeses. These handcrafted cheeses are primarily made from goat’s milk, with exquisite blends that also include sheep’s and cow’s milk. Undoubtedly, a delight for the senses and the perfect souvenir.
Open
Everyday from 12:00 to 16:00 h.

Braiding and Millinery
Artisan: Yolanda Benedicta Torres Moreno
The natural palm heart comes from the central leaves of palm trees (traditionally cut on the day of San Juan), dried in the sun and manually laminated. The technique of traditional braiding with several strands, later combined with others, has been used in the islands over the years for multiple uses, such as the creation of hats, carpets, and more.
Her products are made with artisan techniques and, for the most part, with sustainable materials such as palm heart, palm, porcelain, or ceramics, among others. She creates a variety of items, from hats and headdresses to earrings or brooches.
