Home and studio of César Manrique, brilliantly decorated in his style. His other place was the volcano house (Taro de Tahíche) in Tahíche near Costa Teguise, a combi ticket is available.

This is the show cave in a series of lava tunnels created during the eruption of La Corona 4,000 years ago. The interconnected tunnels stretch over 8 km, with some parts submerged. A 45-minute guided tour takes you through a well-lit section, but you need to be reasonably agile over the rough surface. Some of the passageways are very narrow and you need to duck your head multiple times.
A jameo is a Canarian word which means a lava tunnel where the roof collapsed to expose a gully, and also describes tunnels entered through such a gully. This one is part-flooded and has been prettified with a bar, restaurant, swimming pool and concert hall. It all feels a bit like a Sandals Resort, except for the blind albino crabs.
A stiff hike from Yé village, about an hour and with a descent of the cliffs. It's a rare expanse of sand but has no water, shade or other facilities; when the wind is from the west the breakers are rough. Then you steel yourself for the return ascent and hike, over sharp volcanic rocks that shred flimsy trainers.
