Different volcanic eruptions and magma activity throughout its history, make this land what it is today. From the nature viewpoint of Montaña Rajada you can admire a vast sea of lava that reaches the coastline. Particularly impressive are: the undulations, strident forms created by the lava...Since then its inhabitants have learned to live alongside this unusual and pretty landscape, and have even dry farmed melons, onions, tomatoes and also vines in La Geria.

Access on foot allowed, provided you stay on the coastal area of the National Park and use the trail that runs along the shore. To gain access to the rest of the park, you must arrange your visit through one of the Visitor Centres. The area was devastated by volcanic eruptions over a six years period, 1730-1736, and again in the XIX century, mainly in 1824.

Mirador del Río is situated in the northern part of the island, 479 metres above sea level, pointing towards Graciosa Island. From up here you will have an excellent view of the whole northern part of the island, including the islands of La Graciosa, Montaña Clara and Alegranza.

The person in charge of the reconstruction of this old artillery position, "Batteries of the River", was the great artist Caesar Manrique, who commanded to make an excavation in the mountain, putting two cupolas over that great space constructing a restaurant, and viewing point.

The El Río Lookout offers various perspectives to view the surrounding landscapes: the large circular indoor window facing the sea, the exterior walkway that circles the building, and last but not least the upper terrace that crowns the building, accessible by a winding staircase.

The Cactus Garden is one of César Manriques´ last works and was created on an old quarry and turned into an authentic plantation of an extensive variety of cactus.

The artist demonstrated a special sense to combine and to create art from natural resources that keep in perfect harmony in both, their positioning and distribution of the appearance of typical elements of the insular landscape.

This spectacular "botanical garden" offers a range of almost ten thousand units of cactus of more than thousand four hundred different species descending from America, Madagascar and the Canary Islands and reunited by the expert González Ferrer, who passed away a few years ago.

Nevertheless, the intention of this work is not didactic, but aesthetic and recreational, like the rest of the author's works. The Garden itself is elevated in the middle of a cactus growing area, in between Guatiza and Mala.

The House and the Monumento al Campesino (Monument to the Farmer) were constructed to immortalize the hard work of the community of the farmers, whose efforts are materialized in La Geria, a unique landscape in the world, and the agricultural products obtaining from barren earth.

The monument, also denominated monument to the Fecundity, was created by Caesar Manrique with water tanks of old fishing boats put on a rock platform.

The museum was an old farmhouse recovered and extended by the artist, who from the Sixties was involved in a campaign to rescue and to preserve the canarian architectonic style. The museum consists of an extraordinary collection of equipment and instruments used by the farmers through the times that allow the visitor to recover great part of the history and traditions of the island.

Teguise, which was the capital of Lanzarote until 1852, has become one of the main cultural and tourist centres of the island. The streets, palaces, convents and seats conserve the unmistakable flavour of the passage of the centuries, and thousand and one histories. Teguise is located in the centre of the island, only 10 km of the coast and 220 m above sea level. Ripples between Moors and Christians and pirate attacks , among other facts, have had dominated the scene of this town. Teguise is one of the main cultural and tourist centres of the island, and counts with the biggest market (Sunday mornings) of the island where you will be able to find all type of local and imported products to very reasonable prices.

In 1982 the foundation of Caesar Manrique was based and a group of friends inaugurated it the official way in March 1992. The foundation is of cultural private character and finances itself.

The foundation has its seat in the impressive house of the artist and in the building of operation. The total complex of the building has been transformed by Caesar Manrique himself, to adapt it to its new function of museum and painting gallery. Nowadays sculptures, drawings and paintings of Caesar Manrique and other artists are exposed here.

The house is built on a plot of 30,000 square meters that extends on lava current and dates from the volcanic eruptions of 1730-1736. The building is made of natural volcanic rocks and has 2 plants, although the ground floor with its peculiar spaces is constituted mainly by caves of the volcanic pomps. Its surface is of approx 1,800 square meters more 1,200 meters of terrace and 3,000 meters of garden.

In the northern part of Lanzarote at the foot of the Corona volcano, whose last eruption was 3,000 years ago begins one of the most interesting systems of caves and tubes of the world. The Jameos (Lava bubble) forms, when the lava is hurrying down the ceiling of a tunnel, which usually happens when this one is wider than 20 meters, or, due to the accumulated gases that produce an explosion. In the Jameos they expose the presence of volcanic tubes. The Jameos del Agua was the first architectonic attraction designed by Caesar Manrique in 1968.

Raising the wound stairs the next volcanic bubble, the Jameo Grande, 100 meters in length and 30 of wide, you arrive at a charming garden with ample swimming pool.

Two bars in the niches of rocks have been constructed and the dance tracks give testimony that the Jameos are also used as a disco or night club. At the end of the Jameo Grande, towards the Monte Corona volcano, you find a wide open concert hall, with admirable acoustics and a great design.

El Golfo is an amphitheatre which opens towards the ocean, which was formed as a result of the 1730 eruptions. The lagoon that occupies the bottom of the semicircle arose due to the flood of the crater. Its of green color is due the seaweed that lives right under the surface. The volcano is formed by porous tufa, which, by action of time time has created spectacular formation.

The sea passes by means of the crater forming a beautiful black beach that contrasts with the green Lake, which is communicated with it by subterranean tubes. This lake has been declared a natural reserve, reason why you must not swim in it.

Only a few metres from the volcano you will find the village of El Golfo where you find some excellent fish restaurants.

The Museum of the Wine El Grifo, occupies the old bodegas, that are constructed on volcanic lava and date from 1775. The constructions are made with austere materials, typically volcanic stone from Lanzarote, wide walls and plasters, the ceilings are maintained with wooden beams originating from old boats. It is visited annually by more than 50,000 people.

The ethnographic material which is exposed in the museum dates the end of the XIX beginning of the XX century, where the evolution of the machinery in the elaboration of the wine can be observed as old presses, machinery of bottling, pumps, material of laboratory, as well as old stills, that were used to elaborate brandy.

The museum regularly organizes wine tasting courses to spread your knowledge of wine.
