The location where the Foundation is now used to be Cesar Manrique's home for twenty years, between 1968 and 1988, and the house offers truly a unique experience, as it sits on a 30,000 sqm plot, and it combines modern elements of design with old traditional architecture, specific to Lanzarote. 29. Coastal walk between Puerto del Carmen and Puerto Calero

El Amancer in Arrieta – A lovely seafood restaurant with friendly waiters and a lovely view over the water. Seafood doesn’t get much fresher than this! Fresh catch of the day at El Amancer Restaurant in Arrieta Playa Pocillos: a tidal lagoon means that there is a large patch of sand to walk across to get to the sea.

Combine a stay in La Gomera’s pastel-hued seaside capital San Sebastián with delightful agricultural Hermigua in the less touristy north (near lovely volcanic Playa de la Caleta). San Sebastián’s historic centre features laurel-shaded plazas, ancient mansions and the 15th-century church where Columbus is said to have prayed before setting off for the Americas. Watching the sky turn a beautiful shade of orange, sipping on a glass of Lanzarote white wine was another highlight of our trip. If you’re looking for another recommendation in El Golfo, I’ve heard Restaurante Bogavante is one of the best places on the island for seafood, in particular their rice dishes with lobster, fish and other sea creatures! Walk around a volcanic crater at Caldera de Los Cuervos The capital also lays claim to two historic castles, the Castillo de San José, which is home to the island´s Museum of International and Contemporary Art and the Castillo de San Gabriel. Where visitors can learn more about the history of Arrecife. One of the top things to do in Lanzarote is to visit the famous Jardín de Cactus.

The famous Spanish César Manrique was originally from Lanzarote, so a lot of the main attractions in Lanzarote are his creations, showing us today the vision he had for his island in terms of blending design and functionality with respect for the environment and the surrounding natural space. From its desert-like southern expanses, dotted with volcanoes, to the pine-forested north, “La Isla Bonita” – protected as a Unesco biosphere reserve since 2002 – is a place for escaping into the wild.Lanzarote's culture and geography are intrinsically linked with one man in particular: César Manrique. A "lanzaroteño" by birth and by heart, the artist dedicated his body and soul to his life's work - the island he called home. La Cascada in Puerto del Carmen – We found it difficult to find really good restaurants in this town. There are so many tourist traps! We had a good meal at La Cascada though, which included garlic prawns and a very nicely-cooked steak. You can’t visit Lanzarote and not experience some of the architectural brilliance of César Manrique. He seamlessly incorporated Lanzarote’s nature and geology with his unique style of architecture and design. Taking in the views at Jameos del Agua
