Surprising
Covid period. We had to wait almost half an hour and it was 10am, as only four people were allowed in. 6 euros admission. Fabulous. Screens showing the various trips, a staged interior of the boat, the house is magnificent and the treasures in the basement (a lot of stairs down and up but my mum managed with her iffy knees). Certainly worth waiting to go in. Even if history isn´t your thing, there is a lot to see, walk by, and the two resident parrots are fun. A surprising treasure.

Excellent little museum
We visited the shop initially and decided to pop into the museum, over one hour later we came out very, very impressed. At only 2 euros to get in, it is worth so much more. OK, the links to the Canaries to Cristobal Colon are limited to popping in on his and way back from the Americas, but the museum concentrates on the period, the journeys and suchlike. The first exhibit is a remake of a galleons cabin, very well done and amazingly cramped. Good detail in English and Spanish through out, with French, Dutch and German also on many of the information screens. Staff are very friendly. The shop is excellent some of the most tasteful souvenirs we seen, lovely pictures, one of which we bought. All in a superb wee museum well worth a visit by adults or kids.
