Abstract

The model that is being implemented from 1960 onward has, among other features, the novelty and disruption that can be expected in view of the typical tourist developments of the time, more concerned with a rapid return on investment than the deterioration of the landscape caused by its construction. Meanwhile, in the distant Lanzarote a unique model is voted to sparkle tourism, prioritizing and safeguarding its natural and cultural resources in the construction of the territory in which a particular esthetical projection is recognized on the scale of the island inspired by the artist César Manrique. The creative process explains both questions, their particular configuration, the steps taken and tools used, and its artistic expression, the filter set by Manrique to mediate between tourism and landscape and to recognize its values.
