César Manrique House Museum

When following Cesar Manrique’s footsteps around the island the Cesar Manrique house museum should be first on your list. After crossing barren highlands, the road suddenly zigzags down into what can only be described as a desert oasis of towering palm trees, rich greenery, and whitewashed houses.

The ideal starting point is a sprawling Volcano House compound that was once Manrique’s home and is now a dedicated museum and resource center exploring the artist’s work. Starting with the lemon tree courtyard, through his bedroom and bathroom visitors can truly immerse themself in Manrique’s culture of sustainability. Best of all is Manrique’s garden studio – a bright space splattered with paint and cluttered with paint pots, unfinished works, and other paraphernalia that reveal the inner workings of an artistic genius.

Visitors embark on a unique experience in the calm of a natural environment, a truly singular world that portrays Lanzarote’s great artist at his most personal.
