The village of San Bartolomé lies west of the mountain Monte Mina and was once the most important place for the native people, the Majos. Their crafts and tools can be seen in the ethnographic museum Tanit, which was built in the 18th century.

Nowadays most of the native people are working in the service for tourism or as farmers.
One of the most beautiful attractions of San Bartolomé is the townhall, which is built in colonial style from the early Southern States.

The church Iglesia de San Martín was founded in 1787 and was built in 1789 on the base of light-grey vulcanic stones. Its special coffered ceiling is decorated in Mudéjar-style.

Further cultural highlights are the Monumento al Campesino, a peasant monument, which is located in Mozaga and the Palace of Zonzama, which is of high archaeological interest.

The county also offers beautiful nature sites, e.g. the beaches of Guasimeta and Playa Honda, which are ideal for swimming or the nature reserve of La Gería, a "must-see" for nature and wine lovers.

San Bartolome is the historical and cultural most important place on Lanzarote. In the surroundings you can enjoy different hiking paths called caminos reales. A story tells that in former times the native people walked on those paths.
