La Molina de Jose Maria Gil
In the heart of San Bartolomé, a century-old mill continues safeguarding the secrets of traditional Canarian gofio. La Molina de José María Gil is a living space that connects to Lanzarote's agricultural past since 1870, when it was built by Baltasar Fermín. Today, declared a Cultural Heritage Site, this place not only preserves its original stone machinery but also the artisan craft that transforms millo into one of the archipelago's most emblematic products.
More than a simple workshop, it's a meeting point for those who value authenticity and slow processes. Its owners care for each batch with dedication, offering gofio varieties that reflect the quality of local raw materials. Visitors from across the island come here seeking the essence of a carefully crafted product, far from industrial production. The experience of entering, observing the stone in motion, and listening to the stories of the place leaves a mark on those who appreciate traditions that resist time.
Open Monday through Friday during morning hours, allowing not only purchases but also learning about a process that defines the cultural identity of the Canary Islands.
