Museo Artesania
Across from the Iglesia de Santa Maria, the Museo Artesania is a museum and craft centre where you can see weavers and similar at work, taste the local cheese, watch a 20-minute film about local culture and visit the small exhibition of antique agricultural and domestic implements and appliances. There is also a shop selling such goodies as the local licor de hierbas (herb liquor).

Casa de Santa María
Opposite the main portal of the Iglesia de Santa María, this restaurant looks like it has been transplanted from Andalusia. The interior is set around several courtyards with bubbling fountains, plants and flowers. The menu includes all manner of goaty offerings - from roasted to fried cheese with apple chutney.

This bar, with a lovely terrace, has been in the same family since the 15th century and is named after a Guanche princess who died defending Gran Canaria. The atmosphere and tapas are suitably memorable.
