The islands renowned artist, conservationist & aesthetic hero, César Manrique. César Manrique (1919-1992) was born in Arrecife, on an island on which his artistic career left an indelible mark. Following several years in the mainland and New York, he returned indefinitely to Lanzarote in 1996. His creative works can be found all over the island and his commitment to the preservation of the environment, the traditional architecture of the island and to keep tourism in check was and remains second to none. He promoted a model for sustainability in an attempt to protect the islands natural and cultural heritage, this model was a fundamental factor in Lanzarote being declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 1993. Tip If you are planning to visit all of the Manrique installations you would be wise to purchase a block ticket as this offers a saving as opposed to purchasing individual tickets for each installation. 

Finca Malvasia  design references  the style of Cesar Manrique,  he is a true mid century legend and we will continue to honour his legacy at Finca Malvasia.
