Les Merveilles Essentielles de Lanzarote

Le paysage de Lanzarote est défini par son histoire volcanique et la vision artistique de César Manrique. Cette collection présente les sites les plus significatifs de l'île, de la grotte de lave de la Cueva de los Verdes et du lagon de Jameos del Agua aux merveilles architecturales comme le Jardin de Cactus et le Mirador del Río. Explorez la diversité naturelle des plages de Papagayo et du lagon vert d'El Golfo, ou assistez à la production traditionnelle de sel aux Salinas de Janubio. L'influence de Manrique est encore préservée dans son ancienne résidence à Haría et le domaine de Lagomar, tous deux intégrés dans des formations rocheuses volcaniques.
