What You See
Majorero is Fuerteventura's DOP goat's cheese, and the museum follows it from the island's first settlers to today's restaurant tables. It shares its grounds with the Molino de Antigua, a restored windmill that has been part of the landscape for decades, and a garden. The Majorero Café is on site, and the shop sells island products.
Tickets and Hours
From 1 May to 31 October the museum opens daily 10:00 to 18:00; from 1 November to 30 April, daily 9:30 to 17:30. The ticket office closes 45 minutes before closing time. Adults (over 11) pay €5 and children €3; under-3s are free. A joint ticket for €12.50 (children €7.50) adds the Salinas del Carmen salt museum and the Los Molinos interpretation centre. Canary Island residents pay less. Tickets are sold online and at the desk.
The cheese tasting, a selection of Majorero cheeses with a shot of ron miel, the islands' honey rum liqueur, costs €4 per person and is not included in the entry ticket. It runs daily from 10:00 to 13:00, subject to availability, so book when you arrive.
