I’d like to start my tour with something truly beautiful: the Fundación César Manrique in Tahíche, one of his former residences, built on five lava bubbles. It epitomizes his philosophy of merging the natural landscape with the local architectural vernacular. You can’t help but think of a Ken Adam set for a James Bond movie. From the former living areas, you descend into the caves, which have been converted into living spaces. These form courtyards with pools and offer framed views of the landscape. Manrique is said
to have discovered the property while passing by. A fig tree emerged from the lava flow and seemed like a sign for him to build a house there. It seems that one just needs to recognize such signs. Apparently, the landowners had already realized that they wanted to gift the land to Manrique, as it was considered unusable. There were no restrictions regar ding space either. And so, he designed the house and discovered the cavities within the lava. I would call it a lottery win. 30
