At the North of the island, Jameos del Agua is a unique place where the remains of a volcanic tube has been transformed by César Manrique. 4000 years ago, the Volcan La Corona erupted and a 6km long lava tube was formed. Over time, some sections of the tube collapsed creating openings called "Jameos". In the 1960s, 3 of those caves and a section of the remaining tube were added to with gardens, pool, a museum, an auditorium & a restaurant. There is also a salt lake with tiny white crabs. Allow for 2 hours and wear comfy shoes.

One of Lanzarote's top spots to visit. Located on the Risco de Famara, the viewpoint overlooks the island of La Graciosa at an altitude of over 475m. It used to be a military fort from the 19th century. César Manrique transformed it in the 1970s to be camouflaged in the rocks and to offer incredible views of the cliff, the island, and the stretch of sea in between called El Rio. At the bottom of the cliffs, you can also see the salt pans of Salinas del Rio. The inside building with its white walls and curves offers a great frame to the beautiful landscapes. 30 mins is normally enough time.

LagOmar is one of the Lanzarote's most spectacular private properties. Imagined by César Manrique and designed by Jesus Soto, it was built in a quarry with natural tunnels and caves. In the 1970s, Oman Sharif came to Lanzarote while filming "the Mysterious Island" and bought it. In the 1990s it was enhanced by architects from Germany and Uruguay with flora, reclaimed wood beams and many other materials. Today it is a museum. Gets busy so come late or early to avoid the crowds, an hour is perfect.

Explore the caves and amazing lighting. In 1965, Jesus Soto was asked to provide lighting in one of the section of the 6km long lava tube from La Corona. As long as you are good with small spaces, enjoy the underground walk and its beautiful colours and shapes. 1.5 to 2 hours with queues, flat shoes, no big backpacks.
