North Lanzarote: Cueva de los Verdes, Jameos, Mirador del Río
The north of the island in one run, with no queueing at any of the three sites: the Cueva de los Verdes, Jameos del Agua and the view from the cliffs across to La Graciosa. The cave is about 40 minutes from the pick-up point, underground, and part of the Malpáis de la Corona. Jameos del Agua is 15 minutes further on, the first Art, Culture and Tourism Centre César Manrique made, opened in 1968 inside a volcanic tunnel. The Mirador del Río sits 500 metres above the sea and looks straight across at La Graciosa. In between there is Haría, in the valley of the 1,000 palm trees, and the Monumento al Campesino, seen from the bus at the geographical centre of the island. The guides are local and experienced, and much of what they cover is Manrique: what he built here, and why the island looks the way it does because of it.

Cueva de los Verdes
About 40 minutes from the pick-up point, the Cueva de los Verdes: a formation of rare scenic and volcanological value in the north of the island, inside the wide volcanic ground of the Malpáis de la Corona. One of the things Lanzarote keeps below the surface, and a strange place to stand in.
Jameos Del Agua
Fifteen minutes on by bus, Jameos del Agua, the first Art, Culture and Tourism Centre César Manrique made, worked into a natural volcanic tunnel. It opened in 1968. The painter and sculptor turned the tunnel into the clearest statement of what he stood for: art made to agree with the place it sits in.
Mirador del Rio
Five hundred metres above the sea, this cliff looks over Lanzarote and across the strait to La Graciosa.
Costo extra
Haria
Fifteen minutes of good road later, Haría, in the valley of a thousand palm trees, one of the best palm groves in the Canaries. The road climbs into the mountains and the oasis shows up in the middle of bare geology: green ground and fields with the white of the island's houses dotted through them.
Casa Museo del Campesino
Thirty minutes on, at the geographical centre of Lanzarote in San Bartolomé, the Casa-Museo del Campesino, which is Manrique's acknowledgement of the island's farmers. The Monumento a la Fecundidad, also called the Monumento al Campesino, is seen from the bus: over 15 metres high, made by Manrique with the master Jesús Soto from old ships' water tanks and assembled iron and concrete, and now one of the island's emblems.
