    Hiking

    The wind sculpture "A Santa Cruz" (2000) was designed by César Manrique. It is 15m high and weighs 6.5t. Some parts can be moved by the wind.
    César Manrique deplored the disappearance of Lanzarote's traditional windmills.
    His wind toys, made up of different geometric elements that rotate and interact with each other, are mainly found in Lanzarote.
    After his death (1992) wind sculptures based on his designs were and are also set up on the other Canary Islands.

    Hiking

    In the background inland are the "Torres de Santa Cruz". The 120m high "skyscrapers" from the 2000s would be a nightmare for Manrique. He has successfully campaigned to ensure that this kind of development does not happen on his island of Lanzarote.
