Introducing Antigua

This is one of the larger inland villages but it’s a fairly dull place with not much to retain you, aside from a quick dip into the 18th-century Nuestra Señora de Antigua (10am-2pm). One of the island’s oldest churches, it has a pretty pink-and-green painted altar.

Scarcely 1km north of here is the Molino de Antigua (928 87 80 41; adult/under 12yr €1.80/0.90; 10am-6pm Tue-Fri & Sun), a fully restored windmill with cacti garden, audiovisual display and a bar and restaurant. There is also a gift shop, with all proceeds going directly to the craftsmen and women, which makes a pleasant change.

Bus 1 (€1.80, 30 minutes) passes through here en route between Puerto del Rosario and Morro Jable.
