Lanzarote's natural identity brings together landscape, biodiversity and ways of inhabiting a fragile island territory.
Lava, wind and white architecture: an island that turned the volcano into a visual language and way of life.
Among its main reference points are Timanfaya and eruptions, Art and landscape, Adaptive agriculture, which connect landscape, memory and everyday life. Island nature is best understood as a relationship between ecosystems and human uses, not as scenery separated from history.
