Of the seven Canary Islands Lanzarote was the first to be invaded in the early 1400´s by an expedition that represented the Spanish crown and which was led by a Norman noble called Jean de Bethencourt. The conquistadores had little trouble subduing the native Guanche inhabitants. An aboriginal people believed to have reached the island from North Africa.

As a result Lanzarote rapidly became an important element in the nascent Spanish empire, assuming great importance as a staging post between the Old World and the New.

Galleons from Spain sailed across the Atlantic loaded up with slaves from Africa. Before putting down in the new colonies and returning with riches such as Inca gold and silver. This soon began to attract the attention of pirates and privateers from across Europe and North Africa. And before long the waters around Lanzarote and the Canaries were swarming with pirates and as a result the waters around the Canaries become a real hot spot, with Lanzarote fighting a continual battle against pirate incursions.

Consequently the Spanish authorities decided that they had to fortify the town to protect the local inhabitants from further attacks. And this resulted in the construction of a new castle, the Castillo de Santa Barbara, on Mount Guanapay. Which stands about 400 metres above Teguise. From here it was possible to spot marauders and sound the alarm, with excellent views down to Lanzarote’s coastlines. Today this spot is now home to Lanzarote´s very own Pirate Museum, which chronicles this interesting period in the islands history.
