You step out of a comfortable sedan onto black volcanic gravel and the air smells faintly of salt and warmed rock. The day unfolds like a curated route through a landscape Manrique shaped with equal parts restraint and exuberance: a house carved into lava bubbles, a cactus garden set in a former quarry, an underground lake lit like a secret, and a cliffside lookout that peers over La Graciosa.
