Museo Municipal de Arucas

The Municipal Museum is located within an authentic green lung, with the Arucas Mountain as a reference and the Atlantic Ocean as a backdrop. It is the old house of the Mayorazgo de Arucas (founded in 1572) and later acquired by Alfonso Gourié in 1859. For this reason, the Municipal Museum is known by the name of "Casa Gourié", as the man who was one of the founders of the sugar factory and distilleries of San Pedro lived there, as well as his children Francisco (promoter of the construction of the Church of San Juan Bautista) and Maria del Rosario Gourié Marrero and, later by the descendants of the latter, the Armas Gourié family.
