Lanzarote will make more accessible the spaces created by César Manrique

From architectural solutions to new electric vehicles without driver.

The Art, Culture and Tourism Centers of Lanzarote (CACTLanzarote), created by the artist César Manrique (1919-1992) in the mid-1960s, will be increasingly accessible for travelers with reduced mobility thanks to a series of projects that include from innovative solutions of architectural type to new electric vehicles of autonomous driving.

One of these projects is carried out in the Casa de los Volcanes, in Jameos del Agua.

Special protection

“It is expected that the works will start shortly”, explains José Juan Lorenzo, director of the CACT.
“These centers, created in the 1960s and 1970s, are made in natural spaces, caves, volcanoes … They are also Cultural Heritage Sites and some even function as scientific spaces. It makes it very complex to intervene in them, “explains Lorenzo.

However, “for us it is a basic requirement, every time we undertake a reform respecting all those values, resolve aspects such as accessibility”.
