César Manrique Foundation
Arrecife, Spain Foundation
One of the Best Places To Visits in Tahíche A highly recommended visit for anyone interested in art, architecture, and the unique landscape of Lanzarote. The foundation provides a captivating glimpse into the life and work of César Manrique and his profound impact on the island. Worth the entry price. Allow at least one hour for your visit. Consider purchasing a combined ticket to visit other Manrique-related sites within 15 days for better value. The location is popular, consider visiting early in the morning or later in the afternoon to avoid the biggest crowds. Walking through this art piece/home constructed in lava “bubbles” is otherworldly and astonishingly beautiful. The foundation which was basically the house of the artist while he was still alive is a masterpiece of art and architecture where you can see how someone plays well with the elements of the nature. Must have been a beautiful house and had been sympathetically converted for the Foundation's purposes, without losing any of its former impact. The house itself is a work of art beautiful flowing subterranean rooms with pools and portals to the surface.

This place is absolutely stunning, we just kept saying wow wow wow when we visited. Such a special and piece of architecture, would really recommend to visit. The gardens are also magnificent. Plan to spend about 1 hour. Easy free parking. They also have a small coffee shop with some snacks. We bought the combined ticket, you can the other within 15 days of your here. The 10 eur tickets is definitely worth the price (17 eur for the combined ticket). A fascinating designed by the sculptor, artist and sculptor Cesar Manrique in a flow from volcanic eruptions in the 1700's. Built after his return from New York and where he lived for 20 years from 1968. The rooms are in volcanic bubbles connected by tunnels. They really are incredible and are well worth visiting. It combines art and nature in this unique landscape. Lots of photos and videos that tell you about the man Cesar Manrique. He was a visionary, an ecologist & a passionate activist defending the unique character of Lanzarote & it's people. And he was a lot of fun too! Definitely worth a visit... €10 for the entry of a turned museum of an artist who was passionate about Lanzarote architectural buildings as well as nature. Make sure to watch a short film depicting the story behind the and why it was built in 1968 after his return from New York. Very and definitely a good investment of time and money Architectural wonder that can’t be missed. Walking through this art piece/home constructed in “bubbles” is otherworldly and astonishingly beautiful. Photos and videos are not the same as being in this masterpiece. I was not aware of Cesar Manrique till my in Lanzarote and I must tell you that he now belongs to one of my favourite. The foundation which was basically the of the artist while he was still alive is a masterpiece of art and architecture where you can see how someone plays well with the elements of the nature. He smartly used the fields not only as a decorative element but also as middle for dealing with the high temperatures that arise on the island during the summer months. Everything there is carefully placed from the smallest stone that you see. The art collection is very modern and fresh. You can also find private belongings of the artists such as music cassettes that he liked, so you can really have a spherical opinion of his career and his life. 100% worths the especially for architecture lovers and professionals but also the people that seek Inspiration. Well with the entry price of €10. Wasn't really familiar with the work of Manrique, as it's my first time in Lanzarote. This was a great introduction. Once you've been you start to notice his influence all over the islands! Must have been a and had been sympathetically converted for the Foundation's purposes, without losing any of its former impact. Love this place!!!! Visited several times now and always enjoy. Lots of information and exhibits. Good film footage but perhaps too many films that are rather long. You can feel the swinging 60s atmosphere alongside the passion to preserve the beauty of Lanzarote. Small cafe serving delicious drinks. Admission price very reasonable Had a lovely walk into the Cesar Manrique Foundation this morning, his first house. Very site where you can learn the history of Cesar and how he contributed to the island! The ticket is 10€/person. You see one of the iconic person on the island. You kinda see his house, and what he did (from arhitecture to paintings). Good place to have a look if you are interested in that kind of things. Makes for an visit, getting a chance to look at how the artist lived here before he moved to his new mansion in Haría. The is very spacious and looks very relaxing. However, with 10€ entrance charge (for non-residents) it's a little overpriced. Incredible place and very inspiring and overall a place to visit! I would highly recommend. Not good for young children/wheelchair users/buggies/push chairs. Stunning vision of Cesar Manrique to turn this set of bubbles into his home. Amazing to learn about his influence on the islands architecture. A place. I had never heard of Manrique prior to this visit, but I'm so glad we went. The itself is a work of art flowing subterranean rooms with pools and portals to the surface. The artwork itself is very different to anything I have seen before and also beautiful. It's well spaced and presented so as to not be overpowering. An amazing house. Mostly melting into the and rock, it's full of and amazing rooms. Startling white floors and ceilings contrast with the dark grey rock. There are many stunningly unusual rooms with tunnels, bridges, and corridors connecting them. Towards the end, there are rooms used as a gallery with Manrique's work, some of which I found striking and beautiful. Also, there are videos highlighting Manrique's attitude to politics and Lanzarote, which he was obviously passionate about. A very worthwhile visit. A unique property that is absorbed into the wider volcanic landscape. Interesting and changing gallery displays. Who knew that living in a field could be so attractive. Very good exposition and cool interior solutions in caves. I loved to know the biography of Cesare Manrique and was genuinely impressed that he created a brand book for the whole island Website change monitoring Monitor any webpage for changes – get instant email alerts when prices drop, new jobs are posted, products come back in stock, or competitors update their sites.
