Cacti, caves and cliffs
Located in Guatiza on the north-east coast of the island is Manrique's last work, the famous Jardín de Cactus (Cactus Garden) with its sculptural, half-buried volcanic monoliths. The botanical garden with a traditional canary windmill has a collection of approximately 10,000 types of cactus from more than 1,400 species around the world.
Slightly further north again, the Jameos del Agua and Cueva de los Verdes are 10 miles of interconnecting passages and caves. It was formed by an eruption of the volcano Monte de la Corona, the highest volcanic crater on the island, some 3,000 years ago. Developed by Manrique in 1968, there is a 1,000-seat concert arena in the Jameo Grande, natural terraces, a magnificent garden and even a swimming pool.
On the western side of Monte de la Corona, the Guinate Tropical Park sits at the foot of the volcano. Covering 11 acres, the park's home to many different species of bird, mammal, reptile and fish. It's also close to the Famara Cliffs, with amazing views of La Graciosa, Alegranza and Montaña Clara.
