    Product Info

    -What you can expect-
    No man is an island, but Lanzarote is an island that owes a lot to one man. The legacy of artist and architect Cesar Manrique is everywhere. On this land and sea tour, you'll visit LagOmar, the Cactus Garden – one of Manrique's emblematic creations – and the small volcanic island of La Graciosa.

    Manrique's buildings and sculptures dot the island, and it's thanks to him that there are no high-rises. LagOmar, once owned by Omar Sharif, is a complex designed to evoke the Arabian Nights tales, though it also has the air of a Bond villain lair. It also features a cave-bar, a restaurant, apartments and a museum.

    Next, you'll visit the Cactus Garden, where Manrique landscaped more than 7,000 cactuses of all shapes and sizes. Then, hop on a boat and sail to La Graciosa, a volcanic island surrounded by Europe's largest marine reserve. Afterwards, you'll enjoy lunch and some free time on its virgin beaches.
