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 most of the last 18 years of his life. "A house made of books" is how the writer himself defined the home.
You'll see photographs of family members, authors admired by the novelist, 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'll also discuss some of the artwork on the author's walls, including works by César Manrique, Pepe Dámaso, and others.
One of the highlights will be the visit to the library, where Saramago wrote his last two novels: The Elephant's Journey and Cain.
After a one-hour visit, the tour will conclude.
