OUR EXPERIENCES
Good Travel Experience: Visitors explore ten groups of underwater sculptures at 12-14 meters depth off Playa Blanca, created by artist Jason deCaires Taylor. Themes include social commentary on migration ("Lampedusa Raft," "Los Jolateros"), local identity ("Rubicon" with 35 Lanzarote figures), human-nature hybrids, and modern life (selfie couple, mirror statue, businessmen playground). Ideal for art, culture, and reflection enthusiasts.
