Los Jameos del Agua is the first Art, Culture and Tourism Center created by César Manrique, a natural space originated inside a volcanic tunnel.
Inaugurated in 1968, the artist, painter and sculptor transformed the space, giving rise to a unique work in the world that represents the maximum expression of his ideology: artistic creation in harmony with the environment and nature.
Like the Cueva de los Verdes, the Jameos del Agua originates after the eruption of the Corona Volcano. The word “jameo” is of Guanche origin, and refers to the hole that occurs as a result of the collapse of the roof of a volcanic tube, in this case, the Corona volcanic tube.
