Lanzarote cultural centers - lanzarote car hire

The development and the current configuration of Lanzarote cannot be understood without knowing with depth Cesar Manrique’s spatial and architectural work.

Thanks to his inexhaustible imagination and love for the place whre he was born, the island was kept away from the average development of the seventies and its inhabitants have adopted the theory of balance that combines the production of elements for the tourism with the preservation of the environment. It was during the stay of Cesar Manrique in New York in the middle of the sixties, when in the versatile creator´s fertile mind the centres of Art, Cultura and Tourism of the Council of Lanzarote linked to the economic development of the island, for their conversion into an unmatchable tourist destination, started to gestate.
