Excellent reproduction of the homes of Benito Perez Galdós from the 19th century. Includes representations of rooms from his Santander house and a copy of the famous painting of him by Sorolla. The exhibitions in the museum are only in Spanish, but the tour is given in both Spanish and English. The tour guide was very informative, and gets extra marks for having been reading one of Galdós' books when we arrived... Entry is free the first weekend of each month, but anyway, the small entrance fee is worth paying.

Lovely place. Sadly most descriptions are Spanish only. But the personnel was really nice and gave us a tour around the house.
One of the best museums of Gran Canaria and it MUST be visited. The visits always include a guide so it will make your visit more easygoing. A lot of thing learnt from one of the best writers from Spain and ofcourse from Gran Canariaa...
Beautiful house (a well-maintained sample of Gran Canaria's 18th century architecture). An interesting collection of the novelist's personal memorabilia AND a very fine portrait by the great painter, Sorolla. A detail I found interesting was the water filtration system. A large bowl hung in a niche that was carved from local pumice. A bucket from the deep well downstairs is poured into it & filters through to a clay pot beneath ready to drink
Un Museo espectacular y en una zona muy buena. En el se expone nos obra de Benito Pérez Galdós,un grande de nuestra tierra.
