La Palma: Argual Sugar Mill and Casa Poggio Maldonado Tour

Visit the sugar mill of Llano de Argual, included in the UNESCO Tentative List. Explore Casa Poggio Maldonado and end with a tasting of local wine, cheese or sweets
Step back in time and explore the fascinating history of La Palma at the Llano de Argual, once the economic and social heart of the island during the sugar boom of the 16th to 18th centuries. Your guided tour begins in the noble square of Argual, surrounded by historic manor houses that once belonged to powerful families who controlled the sugar trade.

From here, you will enter Casa Poggio Maldonado, an 18th-century mansion that preserves within its walls the original sugar mill—an extraordinary and rare survivor of its kind in the Canary Islands. As you walk through the authentic rooms and structures, you will learn about the importance of sugarcane in shaping La Palma’s society, from wealthy landowners to skilled craftsmen and enslaved workers who powered the island’s economy for centuries.

Inside the house, you will see the remains of the old machinery and spaces where sugar was processed, gaining insight into the techniques that transformed cane into one of the most valuable products of the time. Your guide will share stories of prosperity, trade, and the challenges of life in colonial La Palma.

To conclude your experience, you can choose between two tasting options that connect past and present flavors of the island. Select either a glass of La Palma wine paired with traditional local cheese, or enjoy a Colombian coffee served with a handmade sweet from La Palma.

This unique visit offers not only history and culture but also a chance to savor the island’s authentic products in a charming historic setting. By the end of the tour, you will have experienced La Palma’s heritage through its architecture, stories, and flavors.
