This exclusive half-day tour takes in the Cesar Manrique Foundation and his Cactus Garden, followed by a visit to El Islote de Fermina.

Manrique was admired by many in his lifetime, and his influence on Lanzarote's culture lives on. He was a versatile artist producing paintings, sculptures and architectural works, bringing sustainability to the forefront of his creations, long before it became a buzzword. You'll first tour his Jardín de Cactus where 1,100 species of sculptural succulents are grown. You can see instantly how Manrique's skill and vision enhanced the barren landscape.

Similarly, the Fundacion Cesar Manrique demonstrates that harmony between the built environment and nature can succeed. A visit to the artist's home-studio, built into a lava field, is ample proof. Finally, we'll head to El Islote de Fermina for a look around – this little islet was designed my Manrique in the 70s and brings a structural beauty to Arrecife bay.
