What to see and do in San Bartolomé

San Bartolomé
Village
Municipality in the center of the island that takes its name from a hermitage built in the late 16th century in honor of Sant Bartomeu; it split off from Teguise in 1799. Its demonym, "batatero," recalls the traditional cultivation of sweet potato, along with grapevines and barrilla (saltwort).
Monumento al Campesino
Monument
Sculpture about 15 meters tall designed by César Manrique and built in 1968 by Jesús Soto with water tanks and recycled parts from fishing boats, in tribute to the effort of the Lanzarote farmer. It stands in Mozaga, at the island's geographic center, where the island's roads converge.
Casa-Museo del Campesino
Monument
Old restored farmhouse next to the Monumento al Campesino in Mozaga, painted white and green in traditional Lanzarote style, with cisterns, wine presses, chimneys and threshing floors that illustrate the island's agricultural life before tourism.
Casa Mayor Guerra
Monument
Historic manor house in San Bartolomé that preserves the coat of arms of the Guerra family and offers panoramic views over the municipality, evidence of the island's civil architecture during the centuries of agricultural Lanzarote.
Molino de José María Gil
Monument
Traditional gofio mill in San Bartolomé that remains in operation, evidence of a trade that supplied the island's farming population for generations.
La Geria
Nature
Protected landscape since 1987 (reclassified in 1994) extending over 5,255 hectares across the municipalities of San Bartolomé, Yaiza, Tías, Tinajo and Teguise. Its vines are planted in conical pits dug into the volcanic lapilli (rofe), protected by dry-stone walls that retain ambient moisture in soil that receives almost no rain.
Vinos de Lanzarote y malvasía volcánica
Food and drink
The Lanzarote designation of origin, created in 1993, protects wines made in the volcanic soils of La Geria, with volcanic malvasía as the island's emblematic and exclusive variety, along with listán blanco, muscatel, diego and burra blanca.
Museo Tanit
Curiosity
Ethnographic museum of San Bartolomé housed in a restored house from 1735, which gathers tools, furniture and everyday objects from farming Lanzarote before its touristic development.
