Centro de Innovación Cultural El Almacén

Arrecife


Occupying a duo of 19th-century townhouses, this cultural centre was remodelled into an arts hub by César Manrique in 1973, then revamped once more in 2016. Exhibitions change every couple of months and there are regular live-music events plus a rustic-chic bar for tucking into tapas and Lanzarote wines.
