Timanfaya National Park - The Fire-Mountain

The Fire Mountains, las Montañas del Fuego, are part of a wide area, which was affected by volcanic eruptions between 1730 - 1736 and in 1824.

This long eruptive process - one of the largest and most spectacular of the historic volcanism on Earth - changed the appearance of the island dramatically. 
Almost a quarter of the island was buried under a thick layer of lava and ash.

What’s to see there?

There is a bus tour through the middle of this fascinating landscape of the Fire Mountains (included in the ticket price) with lots of background information in German, Spanish and English language. 

A barbecue with natural heat that still works and impressive water fountains that shoot out of the ground as soon as water is poured into it.
