Tasca Siete Viejas
A lovely tapas bar. The food is incredible, the waiter so lovely and helpful. The chicken salad, the asparagus with truffle and Parmesan, the grilled cheese and the potatoes are amazing. The staff is very kind and the bar has a lot of character with historic value. The most charming place in Vegueta.

Columbus house museum
Casa Museo de Colón
The house where Columbus lived when his ships were repaired and improved for his first journey to the West Indies, at the time the house was the residence of the governor. It was remodeled in 1777 so it looks a bit different now and like the cathedral you can see details from many architectural styles. Opera tenor Alfredo Kraus (whose name the local concert hall bears) was born in this house in 1927. In 1952 the house was turned into a museum presenting the travels of Columbus with ship models, a replica of a cabin of La Niña (one of Columbus three ships) and objects one could find onboard a ship in the late 15th century. There's also an exhibition of the history of the Canary Islands, and art gallery presenting art from the 16th to the 20th century and a library with about 25,000 volumes.
