Great work from César Manrique, located just at the side of the Museum of Handicraft, which you can visit for free and watch some of them working. Also you can buy the products. Popped in for a drink during a Buggy Tour , the building is pristine inside and out , there is a huge dining area under ground with a small waterfall and tunnel leading to an outside area . Beautiful 👍 The Monumento al Campesino is an iconic sculpture created by the renowned Lanzarote artist César Manrique. Located near the Casa Museo del Campesino in the municipality of San Bartolomé, this monument stands as a tribute to the resilience and hard work of Lanzarote’s farmers, who overcame the island’s harsh volcanic conditions to sustain agriculture and local traditions. Design and Features The sculpture, also known as the Monumento a la Fecundidad (Monument to Fertility), is composed of large pieces of whitewashed, recycled materials such as water tanks and metal components. Its abstract design reflects Manrique’s signature style, blending modernity with Lanzarote’s natural and cultural identity. Rising approximately 15 meters high, the monument creates a striking contrast against the dark volcanic landscape of the island. Symbolism The Monumento al Campesino represents the connection between humanity and nature, emphasizing the ingenuity of Lanzarote’s people in adapting to their challenging environment. It also celebrates the agricultural traditions and collective efforts that have shaped the island’s history. This monument is not only an artistic masterpiece but also a cultural emblem of Lanzarote, inviting visitors to reflect on the relationship between tradition, sustainability, and innovation. Awesome... driven past so many times... finally visited...well worth your time Go ahead, I only have complaints about the artisans in particular, two of them, the rest of the place I can only say PHENOMENAL, but sadly, these shopkeepers there have not treated us anywhere near well, their behavior makes us think that perhaps they employ to people with mental problems since, one sells leather sandals, but when you enter he shouts Do Not Touch, I asked myself how I could try then, but he went to the door of the establishment and said in Spanish and verbatim, "this is the crowd of tourists that we have now! I told him I understood you, but he didn't apologize, obviously we left, we were 5 people, we bought soaps, wooden spoons and many things that they sold, where we entered and they were friendly we bought, but then a lady arrived with big orange glasses that opened her hat store, we did not realize that she was not inside, it was open and we went in to buy hats to avoid the wonderful sun today, but nothing further than that, that lady suddenly returned entering the store with his eyes out of his sockets, and he shouted the word CLOSED to us very, very loudly several times as we left there in terror, it has been an experience that I recommend to no one. They have told us that they are not employees of the center that they pay their rent and they are there as if without laws, no one can tell them anything and they behave like authentic cavemen, leaving the charisma and kindness of the Canarians in tatters, don't go to them If you don't want to be deaf and stunned by being mistreated. If Manrique were alive this wouldn't be like this, surely not. Very interesting museum. Also shows typical houses and how grapes are cultivated in Lanzarote. Built within a disused quarry is a massive function room. Another beautiful place forged by César Manrique. Attended a lovely workshop with Experimenta Lanzarote to create my own Roseta de Lanzarote. If it's in your path, is't definitely worth a stop. You can make some good photos here, and its free to take a look. However there is nothing stuning here. Free to enter. Some history of the island, interesting architecture. Small café for food and drink. The true and only hunger fighters - not everyone is aware how much work, time and care is given into food production. Respect and power to all farmers on this world!
