Attractions
It is impossible to mention Lanzarote without mentioning at the same time the island’s most famous son, Cesar Manrique. As an artist and architect, he sought to construct buildings as extended natural forms. He began to paint abstract canvases, which made their way to the Guggenheim Museum in New York. Some of his masterworks on Lanzarote include the Cactus Garden and Los Jameos del Agua, where within the grotto’s lava formations Manrique incorporated a concert cave, a restaurant and a bar. His home, donated to the people of Lanzarote, is now known as the Fundacion Cesar Manrique. The living room has been transformed into a gallery displaying a private collection of his works.
Activities
Guanapay Castle - The remains of this castle, built in the 16th century, stand on the edge of a volcano. From the summit, there is a vast panorama including Teguise, Lanzarote's former capital, and Graciosa Island on the northern horizon.
Adventures
Costa Teguise and Playa Blanca offer resort facilities, including such watersports as scuba diving, snorkeling and waterskiing.
Shopping
Local embroideries, baskets and native Guanche pottery make nice souvenirs. Since the Canary Islands enjoy free port status, prices for cigarettes and electronics are quite reasonable. The main shopping area is around the Arrecife town center. Store hours are 9:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m. Most souvenir shops in Puerto Carmen stay open during lunch time.
Currency
The Euro (€), the currency of the European Union, is the official currency of the Arrecife.
