Museo del grano La Cilla, Grain museum in La Oliva, Spain.
The museum displays traditional tools, photographs, and farming equipment used for grain storage and cultivation in the Canary Islands throughout history.
Built around 1819, La Cilla functioned as a church warehouse where farmers were required to deposit one-tenth of their harvest as a religious tax.
The museum's exhibits demonstrate how local farmers developed methods to cultivate crops in arid conditions through systems like gavias and nateros.
Located near the Casa de los Coroneles mansion, the museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday to Saturday between 10:00 and 17:00.
Eight detailed panels guide visitors through the agricultural heritage, featuring authentic farming implements donated by local families of La Oliva.

Fuerteventura, the second largest island in the Canary Islands, is characterized by its diverse landscapes and notable geological features. The island houses spectacular formations such as the white dunes of Corralejo Natural Park, extending over more than 10 kilometers, the 70-million-year-old Ajuy caves, and accessible volcanoes like Calderon Hondo with its 70-meter-deep crater. The coastline offers expansive beaches like the one in Cofete, 12 kilometers long and backed by the Jandía mountains, as well as Lobos Island, a volcanic nature reserve with black sand beaches. Beyond its natural assets, Fuerteventura offers cultural experiences such as the Grain Museum, which traces the island's agricultural history, and activities suitable for all ages with Oasis Park with 3,000 animals or Aqua Water Park in Corralejo. The island's climate allows visits year-round, with mild temperatures and ample sunshine promoting exploration of its natural parks, historical sites, and preserved coastline.
