An Island with Stories to Tell.
Where volcanoes, sea and culture meet.
Anyone travelling to Lanzarote inevitably follows in the footsteps of a man who loved, lived and shaped this volcanic island like no other: César Manrique. Architect, artist, nature lover and visionary. His aim was to transform his homeland, with its unmistakable natural beauty, into one of the most beautiful places in the world. Manrique channelled his creativity into numerous art and nature projects. Together with renowned architects such as Eduardo Cáceres and Jesús Soto, he created extraordinary structures set among rocks and volcanic tuff. Under his direction, architecturally and culturally significant buildings and artistic landmarks came to life, including LagOmar, Jameos del Agua, Casa del Volcán, Jardín de Cactus, Mirador del Río and many more.

TimanfayaVast lava fields, volcanic craters and shifting shades of red and black define the landscape of Timanfaya National Park. Shaped by the great eruptions of the 18th century, the terrain has an almost otherworldly quality. A visit here reveals the raw beauty of Lanzarote and the extraordinary forces that shaped its volcanic origins.
Lanzarote through the eyes of an artist
Few people have shaped Lanzarote as profoundly as César Manrique. Across the island, his work brings together volcanic landscapes, architecture and art in a way that feels entirely unique to Lanzarote.
From the underground beauty of Jameos del Agua to the dramatic views of Mirador del Río, his creations reveal a deep respect for the island’s natural surroundings. Gardens, caves, cultural spaces and striking viewpoints all reflect his vision of harmony between nature and design.
Discovering Manrique’s work is one of the most rewarding ways to experience Lanzarote — and to understand the creative spirit that continues to define the island today.

Jameos del AguaNature and architecture come together beneath the volcanic landscape at Jameos del Agua. Set within a lava tunnel created by the Volcán de La Corona, César Manrique transformed this extraordinary setting into a place of caves, gardens, cultural spaces and a striking auditorium.
At its heart lies a peaceful underground lake, home to the island’s unique albino crabs. A place of beauty, creativity and stillness, Los Jameos del Agua offers one of Lanzarote’s most memorable experiences. -
FamaraWild, open and wonderfully unspoilt, Famara stretches for more than five kilometres beneath the dramatic Risco de Famara cliffs. Golden sands meet the open Atlantic in a landscape shaped by ocean, wind and volcanic scenery. Popular with surfers, walkers and nature lovers, Famara is a place to experience a more untamed side of Lanzarote.

Lago VerdeEmerald green against black sand and red volcanic cliffs, Lago Verde is one of Lanzarote’s most extraordinary natural contrasts. Set within a volcanic crater beside the sea in El Golfo, the lagoon owes its distinctive colour to a unique combination of microscopic algae and minerals.
The result is an almost surreal landscape — raw, unexpected and unmistakably Lanzarote. -
La GeriaFew wine regions look quite like La Geria. Vineyards emerge from black volcanic soil in a remarkable patchwork of vines and curved stone walls. The region is renowned for its Malvasía Volcánica wines, shaped by the island’s unusual terrain and centuries-old winemaking tradition. Many local wineries offer tastings and guided tours, inviting you to discover the flavours, stories and landscapes behind Lanzarote’s wines.
