a try to get a better impression of the atmosphere of the houseafter visiting Manrique in Tahiche we took a bus to reach the near by town of Teguise or La Villa as its known locally. It used to be the capital of Lanzarote before it moved to Arrecife in the mid 18th centuryThe town has some beautiful buildings,cobbled streetsand placesand it seemed a lot of historyIglesia de Nuestra Senora de Guadeloupe, if I remember rightfinally we found a nice little resaturantand back to the bus stop; the connection here was pretty regularly 👍 every two hoursan obelisk in the middle of a pedestrian street somewhere in Arrecifeour berth in the marina next to the wall and Altimate graced with colourful art 😁
