title: A corridor of Jameos Del Agua

![](jameos-del-aqua-corridor.jpg)

This is another view in Jameos Del Agua, next to the café area. In
Chinese and Japanese gardens the idea of framing the view exists:
whenever one looks out of a window, the landscape should be arranged and
sculpted as it was a painting.

While I find the paintings and the scupltures of César Manrique
disturbing and somewhat terrifying, his architecture I marvel at: it's
an incredible blend of local traditions, mixed with his own view, and
with many of the East Asian approaches.
