The house was built at the beginning of the 20th Century and registered in 1923 by the Yaiza Town Hall, to which the village of Uga belongs to. It has been built in an austere and simple style.

It preserves certain features which led its owners to address the Lanzarote Island Authorities, and more precisely the Historical Heritage Department, for it to be named as a place of cultural interest.

For several decades it housed "Los Grandes Almacenes" (or Large Village Shop), the only one of its kind to be found between Tías and Playa Blanca, according to the stories of the some of the old folk from the area.
Whatever the product, anything could be bought here, from whey to buying textile products, food or fuel.

Today. what remains of its times as a shop are some measuring tools such as its scales, oil measuring containers, etc...

Sadly, the wood of its shelves has had to be removed because of its poor condition.

Actually, one of the rooms of the accommodation was originally the shop storeroom.

The house has had an extension built on two occasions by the previous owners. Its current owners have been carrying out the restoration work themselves for the last few years.
