Casa / Museo Cesar Manrique

Reviewed By Lanzabianco - Holywood, United Kingdom

A surreal trip around one of Lanzarote's favourite son's house. The furniture remains as if untouched, and there is still a warm, homely feel about the place. His workshop/studio is available to see, and his famous SEAT Ibiza sits outside in prime position.
While here, also make sure to walk around the beautiful, picturesque town of Haría where this hidden gem lies. A real surprise which I stumbled upon, and which I hope you do too!

Iglesia de Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe

Reviewed By Onleaveagain - Stratford-upon-Avon, United Kingdom

Excellent church located in the centre of Teguise with a large square in front. This church probably gets overlooked when the Sunday market is on but it is well worth a visit on any other day. Lovely small church with impressive internal features. A nice place to visit on a hot day as cool inside.

Jardin de Cactus

Jardín de Cactus was the last intervention work César Manrique performed in Lanzarote. The artist from Lanzarote could see beyond how run down the ancient rofera was. Roferas were the quarries that raids are taken from to create a very particular home for cactaceae flowers from all over he world. Surrounded by the largest cactus plantation of the island, dedicated to crops of cochineal insect, a product of great financial relevance in Lanzarote in the 19th Century. Jardín de Cactus has around 4,500 specimens of 450 different species, of 13 different families of cactus from the five continents. The green shade of the plants stands out against the blue sky and the dark volcano creating a harmonious explosion of colour that impresses visitors. The only sounds that break the peace and quiet that prevails, are singing birds and boozing insects, enjoying their very own oasis.

An enormous variety of cacti, beautiful to see. Some weird ones I had never seen before. There's a nice little restaurant there as well, and a little windmill you can check out inside. A nice place to visit.

Castillo de Santa Barbara

Reviewed By Michael T - Leeds, United Kingdom

On the outskirts of Teguise it can be reached on foot or by driving.
It tells the story of piracy, mainly through posters in both Spanish and English, though there are also video presentations in both languages. It was interesting to learn the names of various pirates. I thought it could benefit from having displays of the weaponry that the pirates used, and perhaps models of pirates.
It’s only 3€, so it’s not going to break the bank, but it could be a bit better.
You do get good views over Teguise from it, but you don't have to go in to get those views

Cabra Cabra Galeria De Arte

Art Gallery in the historic centre of La Villa de Teguise. Original art works and prints by English artist and Lanzarote resident Dominic Murray.

Stumbled upon an extensive exhibition of local artists by complete accident. Wonderful building, stunning inside good use of space. Free entry and opportunity to buy works. Unfortunately my Spanish isn't good enough to translate the descriptions of works, but it didn't detract from the experience.
