Built from a design by artist and architect Cesar Manrique, the Jameos del Agua in Lanzarote is a definite must see. A “jameo” forms when the ceiling of a tunnel collapses due to volcanic activity and forms an enclosure or lake. In this venue, visitors walk through the connecting caves, where, thanks to the great mind of Manrique, every corner hides new surprises. Plants are beautifully arranged and the azure waters of a large swimming pool, surrounded by smooth, white stone and palms, is like something out of a James Bond film! There is also a little museum of volcanism – with wonderful views over the compound and interactive sections for guaranteed family fun!
