Viewpoint of the River in Lanzarote
1. In the bed: Genesis. Sebastian Salgado. The book by the Brazilian photographer is presented as a tribute to nature and the magic that is formed in the coexistence between flora, fauna and human being . In the new issue of Condé Nast Traveler magazine, we talk to him about his experience traveling the world with a snapshot.

two. At the bar: The Wave (Avenue of the Beaches 10, Puerto del Carmen). A wooden bridge helps us cross a cactus forest until we reach the paradise of Lanzarote : the ** Cafe La Ola **. But in this part of Puerto del Carmen not everything is cocktail, mojito and pinchito: are art exhibitions, fashion shows, outdoor concerts ... a great little artistic refuge where you can rest and feel active in the culture of the island.
La Ola: coffee, cocktail or mojito with a lot of art
3.**Between frames: Albino, under the shade of the sun**. (Casa Africa, Calle Alfonso XIII 5, Las Palmas). We moved to another island to reflect and let ourselves be shocked by the raw exhibition that Casa África presents on the difficulties of the albino population in Africa . 30 images of the photographer Ana Yturralde on the stigma of albinism.

4.**At the club: The Garden** (Calle Luis Morote 7, Arrecife). Cocktails, drinks, glasses, shots and Estrella Galicia. Arrecife's new bar is going strong with a fun and, above all, warm atmosphere.
5. In the table: ** Naia - Mikel Otaegui ** (Av. César Manrique, 33, El Charco de San Ginés, Arrecife-Lanzarote). The Basque Country arrives on the island thanks to (or rather, from the stoves) Mikel Otaegui, who has planted himself on the island with a fresh menu, always based on the seasonal product, innovative in dishes such as baby squid with apple and black alioli and traditional in the typical (and essential) ham croquettes.

6. On the road: way to the Mirador del Río, the peak of the island and its best views in the Famara cliff . At almost 500 meters above sea level, you will have at your feet the island of The Graceful. Former artillery position, here today, what needs to be done is to procrastinate.

7. In the closet: ** Onixay ** (6 Miguel Primo de Rivera Street, Arrecife). Fashion made in Lanzarote. This is what you will have if you set foot in this store where the designs run hand in hand with Lai Francesca.

8. At the movies (both inside and outside the home): Broken Embraces. Almodóvar fell in love with Lanzarote and left his Castilla to go to the island, a place of precious and terrible memories in this film that reflects on love, madness, passion, jealousy... An emotional time bomb.

9. On the Walkman: silence yourself, Savages. Yesterday I filled the Shoko room in Madrid as they did two days ago in Barcelona. The band's discourse continues to fly over underground cultural references and recreate itself in this New Wave darkness that brings us closer to Einstürzende Neubauten . His direct is violent, epileptic. PUNK.
'Silence Yourself'
10. In the neighborhood: no neighborhoods. In Lanzarote you have to throw yourself into nature. How about the Timanfaya? Almost like stepping on the moon, it is a quiet but convulsive valley inside you. Pure fire. Like Lancelot.

11.**On the web: Alterkeys**. A new way of traveling through Europe, from room to room. How would you like to exchange your house for a weekend? You to Lanzarote and I to Berlin? Specify your arrival and departure dates and find accommodation that suits you and ask yourself the question of the century: where are you going to wake up tomorrow?
