Art, Wine and Lanzarote Landscapes at the Vine of Life Exhibition

Art, Wine and Lanzarote Landscapes at the Vine of Life Exhibition

I’m of the belief that to enjoy good art at its best you need exactly the right venue to bring it to life. When you have an artist who uses a mix of wine mixed in with ink to bring his visions to fruition then you couldn’t really better the choice of a bodega as ...

Psst, Want to Know About Lanzarote’s Secret Cinema?

A private cinema club in a bar – it sounds like film fan heaven. Throw in home-made popcorn and the movie-set location of Lanzarote’s most picturesque town, Teguise and you’ve got a unique cinematic experience that makes a trip to the local multiplex seem pedestrian by comparison.   The Secret Cinema is an inspired idea; ...
