Cupola, Mirador del Rio, Lanzarote, Canary Islands, Spain. Mirador, Spanish for lookout, is at the coastal end of the Risco de Famara mountains. In the 16th century Spanish settlers watched for pirates, and in 1898, during the Spanish American War, a fortress was built here. In 1974 local artist Cesar Manrique (1919-92), with architects Jesus Soto and Eduardo Caceres, designed a restaurant for the Mirador. A room was quarried from the cliff, roofed by two cupolas. Lanzarote, the Easternmost of the Canary Islands, lies 125km East of the African coast, in the Atlantic Ocean. Like the other islands in this autonomous Spanish archipelago, Lanzarote is originally Volcanic.
