Santa Cruz part two

On Monday I went to museum  de la Naturaleza y el  hombre (near the church of la conception) with my friend, but she decided to wait for me in caffe bar on the ground floor.

Museum

 She wanted to drink coffee in peace and eat some delicious cakes in cafeteria and chat with the boss of the caffe bar named Armando. I though it may be interesting to see some mummies and skulls instead Armando, so I went in sightseeing. The ticket is very economical.  The first room is full of projectors which are showing how Canary Islands were formed through centuries. Its also showing the occurrence of natural forces, plants, bugs and animals in the island.



 In other floors you can see volcanic rocks, sand and minerals (but very big, such as amethyst, rozen quartz and many others). Reportedly, the minerals have great healing power.

MInerals
You can see artificial canarian bugs, birds, reptiles and other animals in natural sizes You can also find diversity of plants. And of course, everything is explained in detail on Spanish and English. The archeology part is very interesting. There are archaeological findings of Guanches-the natives from Canarias. Many skulls, mammies, tools, pots. There is a legend about Guanches that says they were descendants of Atlantis (lost continent where people were highly developed technological and spiritual). Not many proofs are left about them, that is why there are many assumptions, which are hard to proof. After my museum tour, I picked my friend at the caffe and we went back to Adeje (south) with the bus. If you are coming to this island for the first time and will stay for a while, maybe the excursion is the best solution for you or you can rent a car and travel randomly wherever you want to. The choice is upon you.
