Casa-Museo León y Castillo

Tourist attraction History museum

👍👍 Interesting to know a little about this canary that came so far in Spanish politics. Mezquino is the town that does not continuously remember its most illustrious sons and prefers to cling exclusively to the new. People often mention museum, visit, historia, interesting, history, para, Telde, interesante, conocer, visita,

    (Translated by Google) Interesting to know a little about this canary that came so far in Spanish politics. Mezquino is the town that does not continuously remember its most illustrious sons and prefers to cling exclusively to the new. (Original) Interesante para conocer un poco a este canario que tan lejos llegó en la política española. Mezquino es el pueblo que no recuerda continuamente a sus hijos más ilustres y prefiere aferrarse exclusivamente a lo nuevo.

  • 5/5 María Teresa Hernández S. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It is a small museum that has been improving significantly in recent years. It is dedicated to the political figure of a very relevant canary of the 19th century, very close to Queen Isabel II and friend of Galdós. The latter is the National Episode "The one of sad destinies" dedicated to it. The Museum contains part of the furniture and personal objects that give an idea of ​​the power of León y Castillo and its importance. The guides enrich the visit and offer visitors other activities related to the archaeological, architectural and cultural heritage of Telde (Original) Es un pequeño museo que ha ido mejorando sensiblemente en los últimos años. Está dedicado a la figura política de un canario muy relevante del siglo XIX, muy cercano a la reina Isabel II y amigo de Galdós. A este último se debe el Episodio Nacional "La de los tristes destinos" dedicado a ésta. El Museo contiene parte del mobiliario y objetos personales que dan idea del poder de León y Castillo y de su importancia. Los guías enriquecen la visita y ofrecen al visitante otras actividades relacionadas con el patrimonio arqueológico, arquitectónico y cultural de Telde

  • 5/5 WHAT ́S UP C. 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Spectacular, it may seem like a common place like any other, but when you enter and (the) guide tells you each story of these two brothers, all their works and what they have done for the Canary Islands, the way the guide tells their anecdotes As you walk each place, it incredibly makes you feel that you are living that era, the 5 stars go for it, really impressive. I recommend your visit. 👁I would like to suggest that you allow each tour and the guide's anecdotes to be recorded. I believe this whole story could reach many more people who for some reason could not visit this house-museum. (Original) Espectacular, puede parecer un sitio común como otro cualquiera, pero cuando entras y (el o la) guía te cuenta cada historia de estos dos hermanos, todas sus obras y lo que han hecho por Canarias, la forma en que la guía cuenta sus anécdotas mientras caminas cada local, increíblemente te hace sentir que estás viviendo esa época, las 5 estrellas va por ella, realmente impresionante. Recomiendo su visita. 👁Me gustaría sugerir que permitieran grabar cada recorrido y las anécdotas del guía, creo toda esta historia pudiera llegar a muchas más personas que por algún motivo no pudiesen visitar esta casa-museo.
