We talk about how bananas are grown, what work in the fields was like in the past, the tools used and the role this fruit has played in the island's economy. At the end, there is also a <strong>tasting<\/strong> with jams, sweets and even wines made from Canary Island plantains.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1857 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/travelguide.oceanworking.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/1000008648-e1741775885946.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"695\" height=\"546\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelguide.oceanworking.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/1000008648-e1741775885946.jpg 695w, https:\/\/travelguide.oceanworking.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/1000008648-e1741775885946-300x236.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travelguide.oceanworking.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/1000008648-e1741775885946-450x354.jpg 450w, https:\/\/travelguide.oceanworking.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/1000008648-e1741775885946-600x471.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 695px) 100vw, 695px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>\ud83d\udccdHow to get there<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>By car:<\/strong> The museum is about <strong>15 minutes from Las Palmas<\/strong>, easily reached by travelling along GC-2 and GC-20.<\/p>\n<p><strong>By bus:<\/strong> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arucas is well connected to the main towns on the island.
