Jardine De Cactus

was created by César Manrique in an abandoned quarry. It is overlooked by a restored windmill and the amphitheatre contains over 1,400 specimens of cactus.

The cochineal beetle lives on the cacti and they are collected for their dye. Like salt this dye was once an important export commodity.

The César Manrique museum

is well worth a visit for the knowledge seeking visitor, to gain a better understanding of the major influence he had over the unique development standards of Lanzarote.
