C\u00e9sar Manrique <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Architect, sculptor, painter, curator of monuments, planner of urban complexes, configurator of landscapes and gardens, in short, an architect, sculptor and painter. artist<\/strong> multidisciplinary<\/strong> born in Lanzarote, faithful defender of the environmental values of the Canary Islands. <\/p>\n

Manrique<\/strong> is capable of harmonising Art and Nature in an extraordinary way. The brushstrokes of his creativity flood every corner of the island, turning any panoramic view into a unique and unrepeatable work of art.<\/p>\n

The Lanzarote artist immerses us in the grandeur and charms of the island through his works. Walk with us through Lanzarote and enjoy this wonderful legacy that C\u00e9sar Manrique has left us in this Biosphere Reserve!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I propose a route through the unique places of Lanzarote from the eyes of the one who loved it most.<\/p>\n

The Jameos del Agua<\/h2>\n

One of the clearest examples of harmony between art and nature.<\/p>\n

\u200d
It was the first Art, Culture and Tourism Centre created by C\u00e9sar Manrique. The artist used part of the interior of the volcanic tunnel to create a natural auditorium of extraordinary beauty.<\/p>\n

Next to Los Jameos del Agua is the geological museum La Casa de los Volcanes, one of the most important research centres in the world.<\/p>\n

Cave of the Greens<\/h2>\n

We are facing a grotto<\/strong> from mythological aura<\/strong>  inside a volcanic tube in which there are about a hundred points of interest for the cultural heritage<\/strong> and a native of the island. <\/p>\n

Inside, you will find the main geodynamic station<\/strong> of Lanzarote. In addition, the adaptation of this natural sanctuary of volcanic origin was elaborated by C\u00e9sar Manrique<\/strong> y Jesus Soto<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

At the northern end of the island is the massif of Famara<\/strong>our artist with the help of Eduardo C\u00e1ceres<\/strong> has set up a wonderful viewpoint from which you can observe the island of La Graciosa<\/strong> in all its splendour. <\/p>\n

The lookout point is made of stone and inside there are large windows to contemplate the panoramic<\/strong> behind the glass, or, if you prefer, from daring terraces<\/strong> that assume the cliff, resembling the prow of a ship.
\u200d<\/p>\n

Fun fact: what gave Mirador el R\u00edo its name?<\/p>\n

\u200d
This is because the river is the name given to the tongue of sea between Lanzarote and La Graciosa<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A obligatory stop<\/strong> if you are an art lover and you have visited any of the works of C\u00e9sar Manrique <\/strong>that can be found on the island, you will surely be interested to see first-hand his studio and the place where this artist lived. It is located in the village of Har\u00eda<\/strong>in the north of the island of Lanzarote.<\/p>\n

\u200d
C\u00e9sar Manrique<\/strong> began work on the renovation of this old farmhouse in 1986, which became his habitual residence until 1992, the year of his death. A visit here is an encounter with the artist's most personal sphere.<\/p>\n

\u200d
Here you can appreciate not only the artist's way of life but also some of his most significant works. You can also appreciate the traditional lifestyle of the people of Lanzarote, as well as being able to appreciate the classical architecture of Lanzarote in all its splendour.<\/p>\n
