Fuente de los Miraderos

We drove to the centre of Lanzarote, near the village of Mancha Blanca, for the start of a circular walk around the Parque Naturale de los Volcanes which is to the east of the Timanfaya National Park. The dirt paths went through lava fields and past the Volcanos Colorado, Negro and Cuervos. The rocks were black, red, yellow and green.
We had lunch inside the Caldera de los Cuervos, better known as Volcán del Cuervo. This volcano is interesting because it was the first volcanic cone generated during the Timanfaya eruption, which took place between 1730 and 1736 and changed the landscape of Lanzarote, giving it an almost lunar appearance.
The 10km walk had a total ascent and descent of 300 metres.
In the afternoon, we went to Bodega Geria to drink wine from the Malvasia grapes, to eat tapas, and to see how the vines are protected from the prevailing winds by horseshoe lava walls.
Dinner was at another Spanish restaurant near the aparthotel.Read more
