THE C\u00c9SAR MANRIQUE ROUTE ON LANZAROTE<\/h1>\n

C\u00e9sar Manrique, a Canary Island painter, sculptor and artist, made a lasting impression on Lanzarote, the most volcanic of all the islands in the archipelago. Acclaimed as one of the island\u2019s most notable figures and a pioneer of abstract art in Spain, the artist left a legacy that has endured right up until the present day.<\/h2>\n

Lanzarote, a canvas of black earth and volcanic landscapes, inspired to C\u00e9sar Manrique to leave traces of his art throughout the island.<\/h3>\n

Exploring the island by retracing the steps of C\u00e9sar Manrique is a great way of discovering the true beauty of Lanzarote as well as of some of its most spectacular landmarks.<\/p>\n

Examples of his work can be found dotted throughout the island. We have come up with a short route designed to enable you to enjoy the island to the full whilst discovering its wealth of culture.<\/p>\n

First stop is the International Museum of Contemporary Art,<\/strong> housed in San Jos\u00e9 Castle. Opened in 1975, it was intended bring together under the same roof the most important works, dating between 1950 and 1970.<\/p>\n

After touring the castle, visitors can make their way to the town of Villa de Teguise, Lanzarote\u2019s former capital, where C\u00e9sar Manrique\u2019s presence can be felt in the Cactus Garden<\/strong>, his last work on the island. The Garden nestles in a former quarry that was used to grow prickly pear cacti. The C\u00e9sar Manrique Foundation-Museum<\/strong> is another must-see sight, home to dozens of works he created during his career as an artist.<\/p>\n

Just 10 kilometres outside Teguise is the site of what could well be considered the artist\u2019s finest works on the island: Los Jameos del Agua and La Cueva de los Verdes.<\/p>\n

Los Jameos del Agua<\/strong>, located in a series of lava caves, is one of Lanzarote\u2019s best-known landmarks, and one of Manrique\u2019s first experiments in landscape art.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

La Cueva de los Verdes<\/strong>, is made up of stunning galleries formed by volcanic lava, stalactites and stalagmites. The caves jealously guard the secret Manrique left there, but you\u2019ll have to visit for yourself to find out more!<\/p>\n

A short drive will bring you to the northernmost point of the island, situated 400 metres above sea level. Here you will find the Mirador del R\u00edo, a spectacular viewpoint affording stunning views of the eighth Canary Island and the entire Chinijo Archipelago (a set of islets).<\/p>\n

As the route takes us around the island, you will be able to spot numerous sculptures that blend into the scenery. Known as \u2018Wind Toys<\/strong>\u2019, mobiles that move at the whim of the wind.<\/p>\n

Last stop on the route is a tour of the Timanfaya area, situated some 25 kilometres away from the previous site. Timanfaya National Park<\/strong> is the site of \u2018El Diablo<\/strong>\u2019 – a stunning restaurant designed by Manrique. The most outstanding feature of this restaurant is the large central grill which uses the intense heat that radiates from the volcano itself.<\/p>\n
