On
Lanzarote, the easternmost of the Canary Islands, you can discover
all the exoticism of the most amazing volcanic locations, where the
hand of man has managed to blend art and nature, creating striking
sites of enormous beauty. On many of them, Cesar Manrique,
Lanzarote's most universal artist, left his indelible fingerprint
converting deserts of lava into true oases of rock, water and
tropical vegetation. Proof of this is 'Jameos del Agua', an
intricate labyrinth of caves and volcanic tubes, a true paradise for
the senses, housing an area for leisure and culture. Here you can
enjoy live music and dance in a setting which is a spectacle in
itself.The island, which was declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO
in 1993, has become a point of reference for the world in natural
architecture, and how tradition and modernity can be blended and
united to give the best of themselves. |
