About this tour
This early call covers the seawater pools of Parque Marítimo César Manrique, designed by the same artist known for landmarks across Lanzarote. Pablo walks from the pools along the harbour promenade at Muelle Sur. The session shows how a working port and a public swimming spot sit side by side.
Pablo starts poolside with a short check of the light and sound. He moves at an easy pace along the harbour, answering questions about the design and the water as they come, and sends a short note on quieter times to visit.
It suits early risers and anyone deciding where to swim during a longer stay. Viewers interested in coastal design will also find the pools' history useful.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
