Fabulous place
We visited here recently during our trip round various Cesar Manrique attractions, some which we had visited before but this was our first time to Lagomar. Parking was relatively easy, just outside the museum We were blown away by the place and enjoyed exploring all the nooks and crannies and learning the history of it. There is a lot of steps and it totally wouldn't suit anyone with mobility issues but if you are able to go we would highly recommend visiting here. There is so much to see, we think we may have to return a second time to do it all justice as it was an extremely hot November afternoon and we were quite exhausted by the time we finished exploring. We enjoyed sitting in the shade at the delightful cafe bar overlooking the beautiful pool with some refreshing cold drinks before leaving this stunning attraction. It was well worth the 6 euro entry fee and we would happily return.

Something for everyone here
A unique experience with a celebrity twist! There's something for everyone her. Lovers of architecture that embraces nature, history, bridge and celebrity! Legend says Omar Shariff owned this house for one day before losing it in a game of Bridge! The table is on display, along with a photo of the players. A poster of the film Omar was making nearby is also on show for film buffs. The views are breath taking. To imagine this was once someone's home. So lucky it is now open to all to enjoy and absorb the atmosphere of 'anything is possible'. The architect built in so many interesting elements, it's hard to put into words. Young children or those with mobility issues may find this venue trying.
