What the chart cannot hold
What becomes visible when you follow timanfaya national park beyond the familiar map?
Fourth-largest Canary island, low and arid, reshaped by the 1730-1736 Timanfaya eruptions that buried a quarter of its surface. Artist Cesar Manrique's interventions (Jameos del Agua, Cueva de los Verdes, Mirador del Rio) define its cultural landscape; the whole island is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
Home of the indigenous Majos; first Canary island conquered (Norman-Castilian expedition 1402); devastated then transformed by the 1730-1736 eruptions; shaped in the 20th century by Cesar Manrique's sustainable-art vision.
