Jardín de Cactus, Botanical garden in Guatiza, Teguise, Spain.
The garden contains 4,500 specimens from 500 cactus species across five continents, arranged in terraces resembling an amphitheater against dark volcanic ground.
César Manrique transformed an abandoned quarry into this garden, which opened in 1991 as his final architectural creation on the island of Lanzarote.
A restored windmill from 1973 stands at the highest point of the garden, representing the agricultural heritage of the Canary Islands region.
The garden remains open daily from 10:00 AM to 5:45 PM, with adult admission at 8 euros and children between 7-12 years paying 4 euros.
The first planted specimen, an African Euphorbia Candelabrum reaching 7 meters tall, stands prominently in front of the garden shop.
