Museo Guanche
About
In Tenerife, Museo Guanche occupies C. Pepe Floro, 5, 7, 38430 Icod de los Vinos, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, a museum devoted to the island's pre-Hispanic past. A rating of 4.2 out of 5 from 446 reviews shows it draws a substantial number of visitors. Icod de los Vinos sits in the north-west of Tenerife, reachable by road from Puerto de la Cruz and the northern resorts. The museum is the kind of place first-time visitors come to for context on the island's earliest inhabitants.
Displays cover the Guanche people, who lived on the main islands before the arrival of European settlers. The 446 reviews behind the 4.2/5 score make this one of the more visited museums on the island. Icod de los Vinos lies on the northern route between Puerto de la Cruz and Los Gigantes, so a stop fits a day along that coast.
Spring and autumn bring warm days with fewer visitors, and the north of the mountainous islands is cloudier than the south, so a museum visit suits a cooler or overcast day.
Car ferries run between the larger islands, and faster passenger boats serve the shortest crossings, which matters if the museum is one stop on a multi-island trip. The archipelago is volcanic, and Tenerife's Mount Teide is the highest peak in Spain. Carnival is celebrated across the islands with parades, music and satirical performances.
