Fuerteventura's culture and arts scene is unique and mostly localized. Fuerteventura offers a diverse range of museums showcasing the island's colourful history and development. Top museums include the Fuerteventura's Arqueológico & Ethnográfico Museum found in Bentacuria, showcasing the relics of the island's original inhabitants, the Guanches. The Casa Museo Unamuno is also popular. Visitos to Puerto del Rosario can stop into the hotel where poet Miguel Unamuno spent most of his time on the island. There is a small exhibition of furnishings and memorabilia explaining the writer's time on the island as he was exiled here in 1924 for criticising King Alfonso XII. Finally, the Museo de La Alcogida is an open air museum, that preserves the lifestyle of the inhabitants from 100 years ago. Puerto del Rosario is also home to many concerts including a jazz and traditional music festival. There are several island-based musicians who tour venues island-wide providing quality entertainment.
