Here you will find tools such as the azada, horquetón, arado de mano, hoz, azufrador and sálamo. Each has its own name, history and specific purpose.

Look closely at the worn wood, the forged iron and the size of each piece. Every detail reveals the type of work for which it was made and the hands that once used it.

More than a collection of tools, this space brings together the knowledge that made traditional farming possible and, with it, the landscape that has come to define Lanzarote.

The Pajero

Among the farming implements on display, one deserves special attention: the pajero. This circular structure was not only used to store grain, but also to preserve it in the best possible conditions.

The outer layer was made from dried palote—the stalks of millo (maize)—while the more delicate grains were stored in the centre, protected from heat and moisture. Some pajeros were also covered with a mixture of clay and straw, helping to preserve the grain even further.

Knowledge of the Land

Behind every tool lies a purpose. Its shape, materials and use reflect the challenges of a landscape where wind, water scarcity and rugged terrain shaped everyday life.

Each implement preserves the memory of the work it was designed to perform and shows how generations of farmers developed practical solutions to cultivate the land, preserve their harvests and make the best use of the resources available. Together, these tools reveal the knowledge that made Lanzarote's agricultural landscape possible.
