Lanzarote, the most easterly of the Canary Islands, is famous for the exotic and almost lunar landscape of the volcanic park. This beautiful and surprising natural park has allowed both Man and Nature to use their singular imaginations to create some of the most spectacular scenery of the whole island chain.
In many corners of the island, César Manrique,
the internationally recognised artist native to the island, has left an indelible fingerprint. He has converted deserts of lava into oases composed from rock, water and tropical vegetation. Perhaps one of the best examples of this is the Jameos del Agua, an intricate laberinth of caves and volcanic tubes that lead through living tropical sculptures and create a true paradise for the senses, a place where culture and pleasure co-exist in its most authentic form. Here you can enjoy programmes of music and dance in an unsurpassable environment.
The island, declared a Reserve of the Biosphere by UNESCO in 1993, has been converted into a worldwide reference for the field of natural architecture and a clear example of how tradition and modernity can be harmonised to showcase the best of each of them.
