Centro de Interpretación del Barranco de Guayadeque
Museum carved into the rock explaining the life of the native Canarians in the spectacular Barranco de Guayadeque.
The Barranco de Guayadeque Interpretation Centre stands at the mouth of one of Gran Canaria's most singular ravines, partly carved into the rock itself. Its rooms trace the way of life of the valley's ancient inhabitants through panels, recreations and archaeological pieces.
The visit combines ethnographic interest with the ravine's natural setting, a deep gorge where inhabited cave dwellings are still preserved. It is one of the best introductions to the island's aboriginal past.
