Highlights
- Fundacion Cesar Manrique - After a short drive of approximately 30 minutes from your hotel, we will visit the César Manrique Foundation, which is located in the unique and spectacular house designed by César Manrique himself on his return from New York, when he decided to settle permanently in Lanzarote. It was located in the middle of a lava flow caused by the great eruptions that took place on the island between 1730 and 1736. In this construction, which occupies 3,000 square metres on a 30,000 square metre estate, the dialogue between the building and nature stands out, fusing volcano and architecture in a relationship of permanent respect.

Not to be missed! - The build concept of this Foundation is also to integrate nature with human-made creations. The floor to ceiling wall gives visitors the feeling of expansiveness while viewing, lava, vegetation and mountains outdoors.
The late Cesar Manrique has interesting conclusions about our short lives, our environment that formed the principles with which he lived his life and how temporary existence on earth in Lanzarote could have preserved natural vistas.

A beautiful and peaceful garde - This is far more interesting than perhaps you would expect.
The garden is in a bowl and once inside it is beautiful and like a different word.
Amazing how interesting and varied cactus can be.
A nice cafe with lovely views over the garden. Ideal for coffee and cake.
Very Manrique and the toilets are really interesting - at least check out all the exteriors !!
Very worth a visit.

Beautiful day out - Nice day, good bus driver, nice tour guide, we just didn't see a cactus garden. The foundation was worth a look. Special man who was an artist, he could make beautiful things. This also applies to the tour guide's explanation about the island and living on it. The problems that exist and a lot of explanation about volcanic activity.

Enjoyed visiting the garden and house and also market. More time would have been good. Natura Palace pick up even better - We didn’t have very long at the market considering it was a large one and we also needed our lunch. An extra half an hour would have helped.
