A part of the beach has been taken from  the society and therefore the possibility to walk along the coast in south direction of Lanzarote.

The invisible middle - Lanzarote: César

Movie of rtve.es 27.12.2010

Fifty years ago in Lanzarote, a visionary artist Cesar Manrique, he knows by intuition that the tourism is the future of the island. But Manrique does not wish a tourism at any price and raises his utopia: to give value to a poor and drie island where the predominant color is the volcanic one.

Juan Carlos Ortega covers the small Canary island discovering his attraction. It tells us how Manrique defends the landscape protection of Lanzarote and of an invisible architecture, integrated in the nature. He is a combative pioneer, an anticipated ecologist who develops his tourist project on the big linen of the island.

The legacy of César Manrique survives him, today his Foundation is overturned in denouncing the corruption and to whom they damage the town-planning norms of the island.
The invisible middle shows how the conviction of a person has turned Lanzarote the island of the utopia. César Manrique yes is a prophet in his ground.
