Museo del Queso Majorero
In Antigua, in the heart of Fuerteventura, you'll find the Museo del Queso Majorero, a space dedicated to the island's traditional cheesemaking. The museum occupies a restored windmill that forms part of Fuerteventura's rural heritage and explores the history of majorero cheese, a protected-origin product made for centuries from goat's milk.
The visit includes exhibitions explaining the artisanal process of making majorero cheese, from milking to maturation, with traditional tools and equipment on display. Beyond the windmill interior, you can walk through a cactus garden featuring species native to the Canary Islands that surrounds the premises. The museum also has a local craft shop.
It's located on Calle Virgen de Antigua, km 20, in the municipality of Antigua, a rural area linked to the agriculture and goat farming that have shaped Fuerteventura's identity.
