Winegrowing, different bodegas Viewpoint Restaurant copyright © by charcodelpalo.com Page 2 Information for destinations of excursions In order to make your stay on Lanzarote as smooth as possible, we have put together the following information regarding excursion destinations. We obviously do not claim that this list is complete. Since public transportation on Lanzarote is not exactly comfortable, and since you probably want to spend your holiday away from the large tourist settlements and therefore do not have access to organized bus tours, it is definitely recommended that you visit these locations in a rental car. Let yourself be inspired… In addition, you will here find some suggestions regarding holiday resorts, apartments and bungalows that might interest you for your next visit ?!?!?! Mirador del Rio (1) This is a lookout point, about 400 meters above the Atlantic, with a very beautiful architecture that was built into the rock by the artist and architect César Manrique. From here you have a great view of the small neighbouring islands and the ocean. There is also a cafeteria. Although this is a very touristy place, it is worth a visit. But only if the weather is fine and you can see far; otherwise it is a waste of the entrance fee... Jameos del Agua (2) This is one of the longest lava tunnels in the world, into which the architect and artist César Manrique has built an architectural installation that is worthwhile to see. There is also a small museum inside this facility telling the story of the origin of the cave, furthermore there is a restaurant and a swimming pool (see Foto) which one unfortunately no longer is permitted to use, and a concert hall that is integrated into the cave (!) Cueva de los Verdes (3) Approx. 500 meters above the cave Los Jameos del Agua, there is another entrance into the same tunnel. Guided tours take you into an ingeniously lit labyrinth of caves that have been made accessible for a length of 1,000 meters. At the end of it there is even a small concert hall in which concerts are occasionally organized. There are further accesses into the cave system, but they cannot be recommended. Jardín de Cactus (4) César Manrique has created a garden with innumerable cacti in an old quarry near Guatiza, from which the so-called "Cantos" (stones that formerly were used to build the houses) used to be cut out. In addition, there is a historic windmill on the property that is still functioning and that was in motion from time to time a few years ago, but this is no longer the case. There is, of course, a cafeteria and a souvenir shop. copyright © by charcodelpalo.com Page 3 Restaurant recommendations for Arrieta, Costa Teguise and Orzola El Lago Lapikada Repikada Ticino El Marinero El Amanecer Oscar´s Domus Pompej Arrieta Costa Teguise Casa de la Playa Arrieta: Costa Teguise: Orzola: Casa de la Playa Oscar´s El Norte directly at the sandy beach fine dining, fish specialities of Arrieta, specialties from international cuisine the island beautiful ambience Los Gallegos fish specialities El Amanecer Domus Pompej on a terrace in the village Arrieta, italian specialties, terrace with beautiful sea views, terrace with very nice with great fish specialties sea views sea views !

The pool shown here is also just one of many natural pools on this stretch of coastline. The Charcones, this is really one of the last secrets of Lanzarote! They are in the south of Lanzarote, and you have to do a short walk of an hour or so to get there and to join any of these beautiful places. Marina Lanzarote Arrecife (20) It is truly worth taking a look at the new new Marina Lanzarote in Arrecife! In addition to a wide range of different types of restaurants and bars as well as shops, you can of course see boats! The large cruise ships also dock there when they visit Lanzarote. And since the port is almost located in the center of Arrecife, it is worth doing a shutdown there, walking alongside the Charco de San Ginés bay to access the center of Arrecife. Puerto Calero (6) In Puerto Calero, one of the most exclusive of all the Canary Islands, the marina is a center of attraction, not only for sailors and motorboat owners, but also for regular vacationers, who also get their money's worth here. Whether shopping, eating, making excursions with the submarine or with the large sailing catamaran "Catlanza" or visiting the whale museum, you can have a great time here against the backdrop of a sailing harbour. Marina Rubicon (8) The newly built Marina Rubicon is also worth a visit. The sailing harbour has been integrated into a newly built district, in which there are shops, bars and restaurants - an absolutely wonderful work of architecture. A visit there can be well integrated into a tour of the southern part of the island, for example to the "Fire Mountains”, El Golfo, or Playa Quemada and the wine-growing area La Geria. This harbour is also a starting point of Yachtcharter. In the beautiful and very small seaside resort of Charco del Palo with its naturist beach we can offer you a number of very different apartments, bungalows and houses, for example in the first row facing the ocean, with a beautiful view of the Atlantic as well as a swimming pool. They are suited for 2 to 6 persons, approx. 40 - 100 eur / day (2 persons). Tel. (+34) 625 182163 http://apartments.charcodelpalo.com copyright © by charcodelpalo.com Page 5 Timanfaya National Park (11) The Timanfaya National Park (”Fire Mountains”), with its surreal-looking volcanic landscape, is located in the southern part of the island. According to the Park, these volcanic eruptions, which stem from the 18th and 19th century, constitute the largest known amounts of lava that have been ejected during volcanic eruptions, covering approx. 25% of the entire surface of the island. The facility at the center of the park was designed by César Manrique. Famara Beach (12) Famara Beach is one of the most beautiful and wild beaches on the island. It belongs to the so-called Chinijo Archipelago, which includes also e.g. The small neighbouring island of La Graciosa, which is clearly visible from the beach. The place is very popular among surfers, but it is also excellently suited for long walks along the beach, after which one can stop off in Caleta. Attention: red flags = bathing prohibited! Our apartments, houses and bungalows in Famara are situated approx. 150 meters above this beautiful and wild sandy beach of Famara and have a splendid view on the Atlantic. They all have great facilities, sun terraces, fully equipped kitchens and much more. They are suited for 2 to 4 persons, approx. 48 - 65 eur / day (2 persons). Tel. (+34) 625 182163 http://apartments.charcodelpalo.com Markets Lanzarote The most famous and largest market on Lanzarote is the Sunday market in Teguise (13), always from approx. 10 AM to 2 PM, with an immense number of people and a huge assortment of goods. The small market on Saturdays in Haria (15) is a pure handicraft market (also open from 10 AM to 2 PM).

  • Versión Inglesa English Version
    VERSIÓN INGLESA ENGLISH VERSION 1939-1992: Context of César Manrique’s work María Dolores Jiménez-Blanco To speak of the historical context of César Manrique’s oeuvre is to invoke Spanish art of the 147 second half of the twentieth century, to review events between two clearly symbolic dates in the history of Spanish culture. On one extreme, 1939, the year of the bitter end of the civil war and the beginning of autarchy, also marks the starting point of César Manrique’s artistic career. The other, 1992, the year of the World Exhibition in Seville and the Barcelona Olympic Games, hailed as the culmination of the internationalisation of Spanish cultural and social reality, coincided with he artist’s sudden death. But the context of César Manrique’s oeuvre is somewhat more complicated because in his work, as in his life, there are three parallel, inseparable and overlapping references: the Canary Island, Spanish and international domains, with one or another playing the preponderant role depending on the year, the circumstances and the artist’s plastic needs. Post-war years César Manrique decided to be a painter at one of the most difficult moments in contemporary Spanish history: the year 1939.The end of the civil war, with the victory of the Franco band, was also a point of no return in many other ways. In the local environment in the Canary Islands, after the blossoming of the avant-garde in the thirties around Gaceta de Arte initiatives and the presence of a group of surrealist artists, the advent of the forties brought the “surrender of artistic modernity”1.

H. von Suchodoletz 1*, H. Oberhänsli 2, D. Faust 3, M. Fuchs 1, C. Blanchet 4, T. Goldhammer 5 and L. Zöller 1 1Geography Department, University of Bayreuth, Universitätsstrasse 30, D – 95440 Bayreuth, Germany 2Helmholtz-Zentrum Potsdam, Deutsches Geoforschungszentrum, Telegrafenberg, D – 14473 Potsdam, Germany 3Institute of Geography, Dresden University of Technology, D-01062 Dresden, Germany 4IFM-GEOMAR, Sedimentology, D – 24148 Kiel, Germany 5MARUM, University of Bremen, Department of Geosciences, Klagenfurter Str. 1, D – 28359 Bremen Abstract: An overall Holocene increase of Saharan dust input to the Canary Islands and to the North Canary Basin is accompanied by a strong coarsening of Saharan dust in loess-like sediments deposited on Lanzarote from ~7–8 ka. No similar coarsening events are indicated in investigations of the sedimentological record for the last 180 ka, a period showing several dramatic climate changes. Therefore a mobilisation of Holocene dust by anthropogenic activity in the northwest Sahara east of the Canary Islands is assumed. Although scarce archaeological data from the coastal area of that region does not point to strong anthropogenic activity during the early Holocene, a high density of unexplored archaeological remains is reported from the coastal hinterlands in the Western Sahara. Thus, the hypothesis of early anthropogenic activity cannot be excluded. Key words: Canary Islands, Saharan dust, geoarchaeology, early Holocene, Western Sahara, desertification. Introduction Sediments derived from aeolian dust can bear witness to past environmental changes occurring in dust mobilisation areas.

  • ¿Es El Poblamiento De Lanzarote Y Fuerteventura Tan Antiguo Como Se Está Proponiendo? Una Reflexión Desde La Geoarqueología
    ¿ES el poblamiento de Lanzarote Y Fuerteventura tan antiguo como se está proponiendo? Una reflexión desde la Geoarqueología CONSTANTINO CRIADO HERNÁNDEZ 1. Introducción En los últimos años parece existir una tendencia creciente, aun- que aún minoritaria, a considerar que los primeros habitantes de las Islas Canarias llegaron a éstas en fechas anteriores a las hasta ahora admitidas. Parte del gran público ve un cierto demérito en el hecho de que las poblaciones aborígenes de las islas arribaran en fechas relativamente cercanas al inicio de la Era Cristiana, sin planterse que los hechos históricos se producen cuando se producen y no cuando pensamos que deberían haberse producido. Las incognitas que aún rodean el primer poblamiento de Cana- rias, unidas a posicionamientos de carácter político, generan que sea éste un tema polémico sin que por ello la controversia produzca el ambiente intelectual y científico favorable para la resolución de aquellas. En este sentido, creemos que la comunidad científica debe ser la primera en intentar establecer un ambiente de sosiego en el que seguir aportando nuevos datos al conocimiento de nuestro pasado. En esta breve nota vamos a realizar un repaso por una serie de trabajos recientes realizados por diferentes autores; los datos que ellos aportan han llevado a considerar, que existen pruebas sufi- cientes para retrotraer la fecha de la primera arribada del hombre a las islas orientales. Sin embargo, tal y como expondremos a lo largo de esta nota, las pruebas de tales arribadas –al menos por el momento– no son concluyentes. Por ello no nos parece convenien- te que se publicite -tanto en medios de comunicación como en exposiciones científicas– como seguro y probado un poblamiento antiguo para las islas, lo que en justicia no es sino una hipótesis pendiente de comprobación.

  • Spain (Lanzaroteанаcanary Islands): Volcano Island's Route, Tailormade
    Spain (Lanzarote ­ Canary Islands): Volcano Island's Route, tailor­made by car Explore a land of contrasts from behind the wheel Discover this stunning island on a fascinating road trip. A UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Lanzarote masterfully harmonises bustling tourist resorts with quaint whitewashed houses, unspoilt areas, spectacular beaches lapped by emerald waters, and movie­worthy landscapes portrayed in films such as 'One Million Years B.C' and 'In the Heart of the Sea'. The island is a whim of nature, gracefully shaped by a volcanic past and respected by the influence of humankind. Today it's impossible to imagine Lanzarote without the creative genius of the world­renowned César Manrique. Life in the so­called Land of Fire is ever so laid­back, oblivious to tedious everyday problems. Particular highlights include the lunar landscape of the Timanfaya National Park, the Jameos del Agua volcanic caves, the Cueva de los Verdes volcanic tube, and the Mirador del Río viewpoint, to name just a few. And foodies will love the outstanding cuisine, washed down by the wonderful wines produced in Lanzarote. Land of history and tradition, artists flock here in search of lost inspiration. Of course, you always run the risk of wanting to end up staying, as Omar Sharif and José Saramago did. You'll also get to enjoy some amazing experiences, such as sailing over to the nearby island of La Graciosa or riding a camel through the so­called Fire Mountains. Lanzarote is also blessed with an outstanding climate that has earned it the nickname of the island of eternal spring.
