More essential than Timanfaya are the Cesar Manrique sights–homes, sculptures, gardens…these alone are well worth the trip to Lanzarote. Read up on this artist and his influence on keeping Lanzarote aesthetically pure in comparison to other islands in the archipelago. I am not sure that one man has ever influenced such a large space as Lanzarote, to such amazing effect. Please do read about this extraordinary artist, sculptor, jardinero, and so much more. This man is the reason that Lanzarote has but one high-rise building, and the reason for the impeccable colors of the island’s structures. I could write a dissertation and I am sure there have been many…since this site is food-centric, all I can suggest is to read up on this incredible person who has left his mark on Lanzarote…
