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!

This tour was badly organised, and the guide gave ua very little information and made no effort to animate the group. The 15 Euro lunch at El Cortilo was just plain awful and a serious ripoff for the money.
Avoid this tour!

What a fantastic trip. Fascinating view points in the mountains overlooking La graciosa, then into the cesar manrique caves. Wow what a place. Finished off with an aloe museum tour.. Equally as good.
Was only a few hours which was great. Would recommend

Fabulous tour of the North of the Island. Lots put in to one day - absolutely worth it. There are a LOT of steps involved, and I have mobility difficulties, but did manage it, even though I paid for it later. But people worse than myself had other options. Talk to the organisers, they were great.

A fascinating day trip seeing some lovely old towns and sights, a standout was the visit to the green caves, really amazing. The tour guide was wonderful and very informative, she really made the day very special
