Jameos del Agua
Natural and cultural site designed by César Manrique inside a seaside volcanic tube.

It was César Manrique's first intervention within the Centres of Art, Culture and Tourism, opened in 1968 and completed in 1977, and is designated a Site of Scientific Interest and an Asset of Cultural Interest in the Historic Garden category. It comprises three jameos (Jameo Chico, Jameo Grande and Jameo de la Cazuela) with a pool, a natural auditorium seating around 550, and an underground lagoon about 7 metres deep that is home to endemic species such as the blind crab (Munidopsis polymorpha).
