Casa José Saramago Tour

At the time of your choice, we'll meet at the A Casa José Saramago museum, located in the municipality of Tías in Lanzarote.

During the guided tour, you'll visit the different rooms of this home where the Portuguese author spent 18 years of his life. He defined the home as "a house made of books". Ready to explore?

Passing through the study, you'll see photographs of family members, admired authors and the Nobel Prize for Literature award. You'll also visit the bedroom where the writer passed in 2010, the living room, the kitchen, and the garden, which offers views of the sea and volcanic terrain.

We will also discuss some artwork adorning the author's walls, including pieces by César Manrique, Pepe Dámaso, Manolo Millares, Gao Xingjian, Oscar Niemeyer, and Antoni Tàpies.

A highlight will be the visit to the library, where Saramago wrote his last two novels: The Elephant's Journey and Cain. The atmosphere is unique.

After a one-hour visit to the home of this famous writer, the tour will conclude.
