An escape out of despair. In 1845, some farmers from Tiagua, who had no options for the future, asked the Marquis de la Quinta Roja, Francisco Ponte, for permission to cultivate some virgin lands on his property. A century later, in 1947, the estate became the great agricultural area of Lanzarote. More than 25 farmers broke their backs working the land, helped by more than 20 camels, to move the agricultural products to all points of the insular geography.
From Tuesday to Sunday, the essence of bohemia floats in the air around the small village of Nazaret. This bar, La Cueva Lagomar, is one of the few places in Lanzarote where quiet couples can enjoy an evening alongside those searching for some volume. Whatever you are looking for, you can get comfortable and let yourself go in the small cozy caves with their tables of wood and stone, or in the fresh air of the terrace with views of the tropical swimming pool surrounded by vegetation, which separates the restaurant from the disco.

The Jameos del Agua are home to the first Centre for Art, Culture and Tourism, created by Cesar Manrique, a site which encourages reflection on one of its creative pillars: Harmony between nature and artistic creativity. Due to a certain level of abandonment, in the early 1970’s this site had to undergo extensive cleaning and reconditioning. Although the works on display have been expanded over the years, the first phases of this project were opened to the public in 1966.
Cueva de los Verdes is situated in the northern part of Lanzarote, in the municipality of Haria, part of the vast volcanic landscape of the Malpais Natural Monument of La Corona. The cave was formed as a result of a series of eruptions of the La Corona Volcano (dated, according to geologists, some 3000 to 5000 years ago), which gave way to an extensive (some four miles long) underground volcanic tunnel, which extends from the volcanic crater all the way to the ocean.

A tribute to the traditional artifacts that extracted the best possible juice from the Lanzarote grapes. The building is pure Lanzarote traditional architecture, with thick volcanic rock walls and roofed with wooden beams that came mostly from the scrapping of ships.

Among the different artifacts and winery machinery displayed there are some very odd pieces.
