Today we went to see the caves in Artenara. After a coffee and snack stop in the plaza, we went to the Museo Ethnographico Casas Cuevas (Museum of Cave Houses).
The museum was located right on the edge of the crater and had a great view. Jasper's favourite part was the cage full of little birds and the black cat that liked to watch the birds.
The museum had 7 different cave rooms, showing how people lived in cave homes in the past. It was very well done and had interesting interpretation cards available in lots of languages. Jasper got to try on some traditional dress in the first cave.
The houses were very small, but cozy and it said that they stay at 20 degrees Celsius year round, which would be appealing in a place with such variable weather.
Jasper really wanted to take his picture with this little tiny corn for some reason.
We went for lunch at a vegan restaurant where Ellis occupied herself by sorting oranges. The food was delicious and even included gofio, a local food we had learnt about at the museum.
After lunch, we took the kids back to the house for nap and the others went to see a cave church and have coffee at a cave restaurant.
We had a simple dinner of frozen pizzas, which Ellis really enjoyed. A bath was necessary after that meal.
