A CASA JOSÉ SARAMAGO

A Casa, is “a house made of books”. That’s how José Saramago, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, described the home that served as the writer’s refuge, inspiration and source of peace for the last 18 years of his life. In his words, “Lanzarote is not my homeland, but this land is my home”. Today the doors of the house are open to anyone who wants to soak up its essence. To inhabit its communal areas is to inhabit a moment of magic.
