Staff at Lanzarote’s Centres for Art, Culture and Tourism (CACT) have begun wearing a new collection of uniforms inspired by the designs of César Manrique, with the first rollout taking place at Montañas del Fuego in Timanfaya National Park and Castillo de San José.
At Montañas del Fuego, employees have returned to the classic white shirts featuring Manrique’s distinctive volcano emblem on the chest. Restaurant maître d’s are dressed in red shirts, while gift shop staff wear white mandarin-collar shirts. New uniforms have also been introduced for tour guides, security personnel and cleaning staff.
Ángel Vázquez, Lanzarote’s councillor responsible for the Centres for Art, Culture and Tourism, said the redesign revives “a symbol of the island that reflects art and expresses who we are and what we do.”
At Castillo de San José, the uniforms have been redesigned to match the restaurant’s updated image, with floor staff now dressed in petrol blue. Waiters and waitresses wear matching waistcoats, while the maître d’ wears a coordinating jacket. Security and cleaning staff have also received new attire.
According to CACT, all of the new uniforms are made from modern, sustainable and breathable fabrics, designed to improve comfort and practicality for employees.
The new designs will soon be introduced at the island’s remaining CACT attractions. At Jameos del Agua and the Cactus Garden, traditional colour schemes will return, with maître d’s wearing lilac and restaurant staff dressed in orange. At Mirador del Río, restaurant staff will wear blue, complemented by a lilac uniform for the maître d’.
Meanwhile, the Monumento al Campesino will see the return of its traditional uniform, featuring a mandarin-collar shirt paired with a sash around the waist, maintaining the site’s distinctive cultural identity.
