Of the illustrious writer that showed Fuerteventura to the world

Unamuno House Museum is the dwelling that took in the distinguished Spanish writer
Miguel de Unamuno, when he arrived in the Majorero land in 1924, banished by the
Dictatorship of Rivera. Unamuno took little time to turn the conviction into an
enriching and fascinating adventure. He made great friends on the island, he went all
over it from end to end, showing interest in its history and people and admiring its
beauty. And he wrote sonnets about it, which gave the remote and unknown
Fuerteventura a recognition on the outside.

The house, right in the middle of the old town Puerto Cabras – at present Puerto del
Rosario -, is the best witness of Unamuno’s stay on the island. Coming inside, means
visiting a bourgeois home of the last century: the smell of fine wood, the big draperies
and old gadgets – such as a typewriter and a phonograph – at the reach of just a few
privileged families of the time. Discover from inside the figure of this man of letters
that gave Fuerteventura so much prestige.
