The MIAC occupies the castle of San José, an eighteenth-century fortress raised above the sea in Arrecife. In 1976 César Manrique drove its restoration and turned it into a contemporary art museum, keeping the original stone and inserting a modern language into it. The collection brings together work by Canarian and mainland Spanish artists of the second half of the twentieth century. It is part of the Lanzarote network of Art, Culture and Tourism Centres.
Natural seawater lagoon in the heart of Arrecife, ringed by fishermen's houses and remodelled following César Manrique's ideas.
Urban golden-sand beach in Arrecife, sheltered and flying a blue flag.
A sixteenth century fortress on the islet that closes the bay of Arrecife, the first defensive building on Lanzarote, from 1587, when pirate and corsair raids made a stronghold necessary. Reached on foot from the seafront over the Puente de las Bolas, a drawbridge topped by two stone spheres and now the city's image. From the walls and roof terrace the view runs along the waterfront, the harbour and the Charco de San Ginés. Inside is the Museo de la Historia de Arrecife.
