Casa Mane Canarian Art Centre

The art spills out of the building. Modern sculpture stands across a large garden, and the houses set around it hold temporary shows, three or four artists at a time, all from the islands or tied to them. Downstairs in the main building, the permanent exhibition runs through the lower floor.

The mix of work is wide for a single site, and the garden shows rotate, so a return trip does not repeat the first. The shop sells posters and prints of the paintings at low prices, an easy way to take a piece of Canarian art home.

• A visit takes about an hour.
• There is a café, but it is not always open — do not plan lunch around it.
• Part of the visit is outdoors in the garden, so bring a hat on a sunny day.
• Prints and posters of the paintings in the shop are cheaply priced.
• The centre welcomes children, and there are toilets on site.

Casa Mané stands in La Oliva village, and the final stretch from any direction is on foot through village streets. By bus, two stops serve it, La Oliva and Iglesia, both about 380 m away in a straight line. By car, the nearest parking area is about 157 m away; a free car park sits a little further out, about 340 m away. Wheelchair-accessible parking is available. The centre has its own toilets, and there are public ones in the village too.

Best: a grey or windy day, when the beach is a poor bet. Avoid: the hottest hours of a summer afternoon.

The galleries are indoors and take any weather, but the garden sculpture is seen out in the open under the Fuerteventura sun.
