La Alcogida Ecomuseum,Tefia,Fuerteventura

To visit La Alcogida is to experience the way of life of Fuerteventuran peasants over the last few decades. Stone houses, whitewashed and with gabled roofs, welcome the visitor to the La Alcogida Eco-Museum, located in the village of Tefía in Puerto del Rosario. Its roofs are made of “torta” (a mix of water, earth and straw) which, with the advent of winter rains, is what gives the walls their ancient appearance. In summer the walls are repainted to once again display their pure and perfect white.

Opening Hours Tuesdays to Saturdays from 10:00 to 17:00 (Closed Sundays and Mondays)

La Alcogida Ecomuseum is located in Tefia, Fuerteventura.
