One day I'll take a flight to Lanzarote and go see César Manrique House Museum and whatever else interesting there might be on the island. Or that's what I wish anyway. We'll see. It's so funny though, when I was younger I was terrified of the mere thought of flying, and now I wish I could travel by plane! Okay, I admit I still would be uneasy but statistically flying is the safest way to travel, so...

Lygia Clark & Hélène Cixous

Era el 14 de agosto de 1922. Proust se iba. si el mundo se acabara, ¿qué haría usted?", había preguntado el periódico L'Intransigeant. Menuda pregunta. Si el mundo se acabara. Cómo la vida nos parecería bruscamente deliciosa, dijo el que partía. Entonces nuestra pereza, que posterga la vida sin cesar, sería derrotada. Si el mundo se acabara, finalmente, viviría, dice el moribundo, me liberaría de la negligencia.

_ Hélène Cixous, El vecino de cero. Sam Beckett. Swann ensayo/ Shangrila. Traducción de Mariel Manrique.

Un camino hacia un mundo incierto que se encuentra en manos de los poderosos y de nosotros mismos.

Cesar Manrique se preocupo toda su vida por el medioambiente, demostrándolo en toda su magistral obra, realizada en Lanzarote.

Hace muchos años , cuando yo era muy joven,me quedé asombrada con un documental que echaron en la 2 TVE, donde salían los "Jameos del agua" una de sus obras pioneras más magistrales e impresionantes de la arquitectura creativa.

Lanzarote Beyond the Beaches: Exploring the Island's Hidden Gems

Lanzarote, often celebrated for its sun-drenched beaches and azure waters, has much more to offer than just its coastal allure. This Canary Island is a treasure trove of hidden gems waiting to be discovered by those who venture beyond the sand. From awe-inspiring volcanic landscapes to charming villages, Lanzarote's lesser-known attractions provide a rich tapestry of experiences for the curious traveller.

La Geria Wine Region

Nestled in the heart of Lanzarote, La Geria is a unique wine-growing region that offers an extraordinary landscape unlike any other. The volcanic soil, combined with traditional farming techniques, creates an unusual yet visually striking terrain. Vineyards here are planted in shallow pits surrounded by semicircular stone walls, designed to protect the vines from the wind and conserve moisture.

Visitors can tour the local wineries, sample the island's distinctive Malvasia wine, and learn about the innovative agricultural methods that make wine production possible in such an arid environment.

Teguise: The Historic Capital

Book transfer from lanzarote airport to costa teguise and visit Teguise, Lanzarote's former capital, is a charming town steeped in history. Wandering through its narrow, cobbled streets, you'll encounter whitewashed buildings, beautiful churches, and historic monuments. The town's weekly market, held every Sunday, is one of the island's most popular attractions, offering a wide array of local crafts, artisanal goods, and fresh produce.

Teguise also hosts various cultural events and festivals throughout the year, providing a glimpse into the island's rich traditions and vibrant community life.

Los Hervideros

Los Hervideros, meaning "The Boiling Pots," is a dramatic coastal area where the island's volcanic activity meets the Atlantic Ocean. This rugged stretch of coastline features striking cliffs and caves formed by ancient lava flows. As waves crash against the cliffs, they create a spectacular display of spray and foam, resembling boiling water.

A network of pathways and viewpoints allows visitors to safely explore the area and witness the power of nature up close. It's a perfect spot for photography and offers a unique perspective on Lanzarote's volcanic origins.

El Golfo and the Green Lagoon

El Golfo, a small fishing village on the island's west coast, is home to one of Lanzarote's unique natural wonders: the Green Lagoon. This vivid green crater lake, also known as Charco de los Clicos, gets its striking colour from the algae that thrive in its saline waters.

The contrast between the green lagoon, the black volcanic beach, and the blue sea creates a stunning visual spectacle. El Golfo itself is a great place to enjoy fresh seafood while taking in the dramatic coastal scenery.

Haria: The Valley of a Thousand Palms

Haria, located in the northern part of the island, is often referred to as the "Valley of a Thousand Palms." This lush, green valley stands in stark contrast to the island's otherwise arid landscape. Legend has it that a new palm tree was planted for every child born in the village, creating a verdant oasis. Haria is also known for its artisanal markets and the Cesar Manrique House Museum, where visitors can learn more about the famous local artist who left an indelible mark on Lanzarote's cultural and architectural heritage.

Conclusion

Lanzarote's hidden gems offer a wealth of experiences beyond its famous beaches. Whether you're exploring the unique vineyards of La Geria, delving into the history of Teguise, or marvelling at the natural beauty of Los Hervideros and El Golfo, the island is full of surprises. Venture off the beaten path and discover the rich cultural heritage and stunning landscapes that make Lanzarote a truly unique destination.
