The small windmill that acts as the town landmark. Buses stop here and on Sunday disgorge tourists for the market. The market square is quiet and bare at other times.
Museum of Piracy
A 14th-century fortified lookout perched on the rim of the crater of Montaña Guanapay. Since 2011 it's contained a tacky, puerile exhibition on pirates in these islands, but this has been closed since 2020. You can drive up for the crater view, but some visitors have then found the access barrier locked against their exit.
House of Omar Sharif
Modern art museum, dramatically set in a quarry and designed (inevitably) by César Manrique. The legend goes that it was owned for one day by the actor Omar Sharif (1932-2015), who immediately lost it at cards to the developer who'd just sold it to him. Sharif was here in the 1970s for a role in The Mysterious Isle, a film adaptation of Jules Verne's sequel to 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea which drew rotten tomatoes from all the film critics. Sharif denied the legend, but he was a renowned bridge player with a serious gambling habit so the story is plausible.
Observatory with telescopes for public use.
See Costa Teguise for this art studio and wacky residence carved out of a lava tube at Tahiche. Another nearby tube is trash-strewn and not worth seeking out.
Extensive collection of cacti, beautifully presented against black volcanic gravel. The garden (designed by César Manrique, who else) is in a former quarry and sometimes feels crowded. Most of the garden is wheelchair-accessible.
