He managed to unite Art, Urbanism and Tourism in a single concept, under a philosophy and model of urban intervention based on sustainability and respect for the natural values of the territory, into what is now a world reference.

It was a great island activity! We were very happy with our choice to buy the 3-hour version that came with pickup. Worth the money. The route was great, and at some points we felt like we were on safari.

Great adventure on the buggies. Communication a little lacking to know what we were doing and when and no commentary, but still a good couple of hours of fun and good for kids too.

A great experience on this buggy tour. Our guide was great as he led us up the rough terrain to the highest point in Lanzarote.
