The Majorero Cheese Museum is the ideal setting to get to know one of the typical products of Fuerteventura , in addition to delving into the culture and history of the island. The visit does not take too long, so if you are in the area it may be a good opportunity to visit it.
Once you visit the museum, in its shop you will have the opportunity to taste some of the best cheeses on the island , but you must bear in mind that, once you try them, you will most certainly not be able to avoid including them in your suitcase.
