LANZAROTE

Laboratory seminar

We recommended Lanzarote to a pharmaceutical client looking for a seaside destination less than 4 hours' flight from Paris in the middle of January. 

One of our favourite islands for its gastronomy, its lunar landscapes and its architectural heritage, which we owe to the famous artist César Manrique, painter, sculptor and architect born on the island.

Staying in a hotel surrounded by cactus in the south of the island, the 170 participants were able to take part in a packed programme of meetings and discover the island:
- on the sea side: by taking part in a regatta from the harbour, which is just a short walk from the hotel
- on land: during a rally by car, they discovered the Timanfaya, the Mirador del Rio, the Cactus Garden, the Museo del Campesino... while sampling the island's specialities.


TÉNÉRIFE

Cosmetics seminar

November in the Canaries, or a return to summer: for a cosmetics brand, we booked a hotel in the south of Tenerife with live music every evening, hairdressing workshops, a gymkhana to discover the island and its traditions, a catamaran outing to watch cetaceans... and of course an unforgettable closing dinner that took a day to prepare.

For this evening, we naturally counted on a magnificent Venue in a banana plantation. 

Artists and models from the island accompanied us to create the show and finally, a troupe of Carnival dancers surprised the guests at the end of the dinner.


GRAN CANARIA

FAMTRIP

Gran Canaria, a MICE destination that will surprise you. 

We invite you to consider this Canary Island for your next event. 

A destination where the thermometer registers an average of 22º. 

Sand dunes that contrast with the island's mountainous interior, a historic centre that will transport you back to another era, coffee plantations... and many other secrets...

Sobre el evento

César Manrique (24/4/1919 Arrecife, Lanzarote - 25/9/1992 Tahíche, Lanzarote) was an internationally renowned artist and environmentalist who had a major influence on the development of the Canary Islands. He studied in Madrid at the San Fernando Academy of Fine Arts, graduating as a teacher of art and painting. He later moved to Paris and New York, where his works were sold all over the world. In 1968, he returned to his native island, where the regional council gave him carte blanche.
César Manrique, once described as an urban designer and environmentalist, placed great importance on preserving the island and its aesthetic appeal. To achieve this, he recommended several things: that no building higher than a palm tree be erected, that roadside signs be kept to a minimum and that electricity cables be laid underground. He also suggested that all villages be painted white and green and encouraged locals to renovate their homes and maintain a certain harmony with the local environment.

Despite all his masterpieces sold all over the world, his greatest achievement is probably the result of his architectural work in Lanzarote, which allowed the preservation of the natural state of this magnificent island. As a result of all his efforts, César Manrique was awarded the World Ecology and Tourism Prize in 1978, and in 1986 he received the Europa Nostra prize for conservation.
