artist’s studio-home, which was constructed inside a volcanic dome and now
houses a museum and art gallery.
The Cactus Garden is in an old quarry, shaped like an amphitheatre, in whose
graded steps sit over 10,000 types of cactus. An eight-metre cactus sculpture
stands at one side of the entrance and at the other, an old windmill restored in
1973 by Manrique. There is also a restaurant-bar and public facilities.
The Santo Domingo Convent was erected in the 18th Century and restored in 1991 as
