Lanzarote

Looking for a place to set free your mind?
Book yourself a ticket and fly to the moon. You won’t see earth from there but you will be spoiled by plenty of other stunning views.
And that is thanks to César Manrique. He loved his island and fought to preserve it for the future.
I’m glad he did.

Although the island is not that big it presents you with endless views.
Beaches, lava fields, hills and old volcanos… but stay away from Timanfaya park. It’s a tourist trap.
For those who like to cycle, it’s a cycling paradise. Given the numerous cycling companies.

We stayed at LagOmar, also known as Omar Sharifs house.
They have two apartments for rent, located central island which makes it a perfect base camp to explore the island.

Are you a cacti lover? Great! Buy a ticket for ‘Jardin de Cactus‘ They show an impressive 4500 cacti in their lovely garden. The idea came from Manrique himself. Who else ;-)
As an architect he got probably inspired by the geometrical spirals of certain cactuses. Nice repetitive structured chaos.
