| Probably the best art gallery on the island
and set in lovely grounds, Casa Mane in La Olivia houses art work from
Canarian artists.
It
features a permanent exhibition by probably the most famous Canarian artist,
Alberto Manrique. Two rooms display his work, one containing early water
colours and the other some very interesting and thought provoking scenes in
oils.
The galleries contain non permanent
modern works from local artists, all being kept in well air conditioned
conditions which make for very comfortable viewing.
Outside you will find a very well laid out sculpture garden to wander
around, with seating provided it makes for a different and enjoyable
experience.
Cameras can be used in the galleries but remember to turn off the flash as
most are behind glass and flash reflection will ruin a good picture.
There is also a gift shop where you can purchase copies of the exhibits to
take away for a reminder of your visit

palms and cacti.
