The Blue House in Lanzarote

An unusual house with a tragic history. At the beginning of the 20th century, Don Juan de Leon Perdomo emigrated to South America, where he became rich in the wheat trade. He married Juana Alemán and they had a daughter, Juanita. Unfortunately, as a child she became ill with tuberculosis and doctors advised her to move to a place with clean air. Don Juan decided to return to his native village of Arrieta, where in 1916 he built a house, a replica of his daughter's toy house. The family lived in it for five years, but then the daughter died.

After Juan and Juanita's death, the house fell into disrepair. In the 2000s, a family from Arrecife bought and renovated it, with the goal of using it as a country house.






There is a restaurant near the house.


As well as local fishermen and curious cats.
