Spain The first modern house in Caleta de Famara
The article, written by M.J. Tabar explains that his quirky house was the first modern building in Lanzarote. Luis Ramírez was a gentleman born within the municipality of San Bartolomé and was considered rich and well travelled. Ramírez wanted to portray the fashionable architecture he’d seen during his travels, the result was this house built in Lanzarote during the early 20th century, on an almost non existent waterfront in La Caleta.
The facade of this art nouveau house is incredibly ornate although hard to distinguish now with the passing of time. The top floor balcony has two dolphins either side of the initials LR with a conch and periwinkle seashells adorning the centre top.
