Discover with us the work of a genius! In the center of the island, César Manrique transforms a simple quarry into a tribute to agricultural work
In the center of the island Cesar turns a simple quarry into a homage to agricultural work: the Monumento al Campesino (Farmers’ Monument) after this visit, the way leads through the old capital Teguise to the Valleys.
Our next stop surprises us with beautiful views over the Valley of Thousand Palms, the Corona Volcano and the coast with its villages. We cross the village of Haría and visit El Mirador del Rio (the Viewpoint of the River) transformed by the Lanzarotenian artist and from where we enjoy the view of Chinijo Archipelago.
We descend via the Corona Volcano and visit one of the most impressive caves on the island: you decide between Jameos del Agua or Cueva de Los Verdes. Volcanic nature, always present in the work of Manrique, is discovered with the visit to the beautiful Jardín de Cactus (Cactus Garden), the last work of this genius to be opened.
We save for last the visit to The Cesar Manrique Foundation, his home and his inspiration. The house is perfectly integrated into the surrounding lava. Return to the hotel.
