Museo y Parque Arqueológico Cueva Pintada
Aboriginal site with the famous cave of geometric paintings.
The Cueva Pintada in Gáldar is one of the great references of pre-Hispanic Canarian archaeology, with its chamber decorated with geometric motifs and an excavated settlement crossed on walkways. The museum explains the way of life of the ancient Canarians before the conquest, and the guided tour and real excavations are what visitors value most.
