Parque Nacional de Timanfaya (Timanfaya National Park)

In 1730, the southern part of Lanzarote experienced one of the largest volcanic eruptions in known history. Thousands of tons of lava and ashes were sprayed into the air during the eruption that lasted 6 years.

The Parque Nacional de Timanfaya(Timanfaya National Park) covers 51 km² (20 sq mi) of bizarre landscape filled with twisted and swirling mounds of hardened lava that resulted from the eruption. The area still shows volcanic activity and the restaurant in the park, for example, uses a volcano-powered barbeque to do their cooking.

To the southeast of the park is the Museo de las Rocas, where many geological and volcanic related topics are well documented.

The statue El Diablo is the park's symbol.
