The Artist Manriques house in Lanzarote

When Manrique returned from USA - he wanted to show the people of Lanzarote what a beautiful island Lanzarote was with its Lava and its Lava tunnels.
He built his house on and in the Lava tunnels. His house now belongs the Manrique Foundation  and open to the public - come with me on a tour around this wonderful house built on and under the Lava -------this way please

 

 Its going to be bigger than you think --

 Looking out and down on the pool --

 Could'nt resist taking this shot,lol

 Another shot of his pool

Just look at the Lava coming through one of his windows (no glass in the windows)

 Now we go down the steps and into the Lava tunnels - this way --if you please --

 This is one of the many rooms down here

 See the neat way the trees are planted and growing through the holes in the Lava

 More of his Art work

 Heres another room

I just love hoe he painted the walls of the Lava to brighten up the rooms and passage ways

 Round the bend and ---

 And - here we have Manriques Pool - as you can see this is one of the holes in the Lava

Here we go on again

 

Here we go  -- up --  and out of the Lava tunnels and into Manriques garden.

 Here we are - out on top again and the garden and looking across to the mountains and village.

 Manriques Art on the walls and his plants

Well - I do hope that you all have enjoyed your trip around the house and also the other places we have visited on Lanzarote -- we now sail to our last port of call  Vigo before we head for home.
