Description

César Manrique greatly influenced Lanzarote’s artistic and architectural landscape. He combined painting, architecture, sculpture, design, and environmentalism with a vision harmonizing nature and man-made structures.

The tour begins at Monumento al Campesino, dedicated to Lanzarote’s rural workers. Visit the small museum showcasing traditional Canary Islands crafts and enjoy the architecture of the adjacent restaurant set against a lava field.

Next, continue to Mirador del Rio in the Valley of a Thousand Palms. This viewpoint offers sweeping panoramas and features Manrique’s architectural design that blends with its surroundings.

Visit Jameos del Agua, a section of a 7 km lava tube formed by Monte Corona’s eruption 8,000 years ago. Manrique artistically transformed the cave area, which now includes a restaurant, concert hall, and a small lake inhabited by unique white blind crabs.

Conclude at the Jardin de Cactus, home to over 1,100 plant species from around the world within 5,000 square meters. On the return, stop at Fundación César Manrique, the former residence and studio of the artist, integrated into volcanic formations and featuring his artworks and creative spaces.
