César Manrique: Northern Lanzarote Guided Tour
When, in the late 1960s, César Manrique returned to Lanzarote and, together with Jesús Soto, commenced the construction and start-up of the Art and Tourism Center of Lanzarote, they were perhaps not aware of the international and artistic trend that they were going to generate.
César, a multidisciplinary artist, painter, sculptor, conservator of monuments and tourist resorts, designer of landscapes and gardens, and recognized ecologist, created from natural volcanic accidents a tendency that impacted the world. He managed to unite Art, Urbanism and Tourism in a single concept, under a philosophy and model of urban intervention based on sustainability and respect for the natural values of the territory, into what is now a world reference.
Our Island would certainly be less attractive and with much less personality without his art. Not visiting these Centers and works of art, being able to interpret them, is like not even having travelled here. Don't miss this unforgettable tour!
