The Cactus Garden

Timanfaya National Park

The National Park in Timanfaya is picturesque for its lunar appearance, which was created during the 17th and 18th century volcanic eruptions to this side of the island. Because of the shortage of rainfall there is a drastic lack of erosion and this gives it the strange and unique appearance. The area also contains many plant species, some of which are rare. The local name for the national park is Fire Mountains. This is where one of the world's longest natural phenomenons took place, where 25 volcanoes erupted from September 1730 to April 1736.

Los Hervideros wave's

Los Hervideros (literally the 'Boiling Waters') are a series of caves and blow holes caused by erosion from a former Lava flow. As the waves crash into the caves, mountains of white surf are produced, giving the appearance of 'Boiling Waters'. Here it is possible to walk around the cliffs and watch the breakers crash into the caves from one of the natural 'balconies' which are around it.

San Jose Castle

The San Jose castle is the oldest building on Lanzarote, built by an Italian engineer in 1590 it is situated on top of the hill in Puerto de Naos. Whilst here you can enjoy dining in the restaurant and looking at some contemporary art in the gallery.

Castillo de San Gabriel

The Archaeological Museum was originally constructed in 1574 as a defence to the Harbour at Arrecife, it was then reconstructed after being destroyed in 1586 by the famous pirate Morato Arraez. Following this reconstruction it was then used by the military until the 1950s. It displays a magnificent drawbridge at its entrance.

El Golfo:

El Golfo (Charco de los Clicos) is a semi-circular Volcanic Crater (half of it has been eroded by the sea) which is filled with Sea-water that has filtered through the black sand which separates the lagoon from the sea. The Green Lagoon (which gets its colour from the algae living in the water) is a magnificent sight, which contrasts a black sand beach and weird looking rock formations.

Pardelas Park
