The first stop is LAGOMAR, the former home of the famous actor Omar Shariff where you will visit the cave museum and the lake.
We then head to Guatiza where we will visit the Cactus Garden which is a magnificent example of an architectural intervention perfectly integrated into the landscape. César Manrique realises this bold architectural complex while maintaining the unbreakable pairing of art and nature that is so tangible in all his spatial interventions, where we can see more than 7,200 varieties of cactus.
The second part of this tour begins in Órzola as you board the Biosfera Express ferry that will take you to the neighbouring island of La Graciosa.
Once you arrive you will have the opportunity to do various activities on your own, stroll through the quiet village of Caleta del Sebo to admire the unpaved streets, visit the typical street market, rent bicycles, enjoy the paradisiacal beaches, etc...

Logamar museum (Omar Sharif’s house he lost in a game of Bridge) was well worth seeing - absolutely not to be missed! Cactus Garden had a fantastic array of different types beautifully displayed and the ferry trip, lunch and visit to La Graciosa Island was a nice finale to the trip. The lunch was a traditional Canarian Spanish Paella with different meats and accompanied by a variety of drinks including wine. Our guide, Rachel, really made the trip a delight with her detailed knowledge and impressive multilingual skills in several European languages.
