Excursion to Lanzarote
Jameos de Agua:
Manrique created a
Jameos de Agua a fantastic place and beautiful, who for years has attracted many tourists and curious to see a place with a surreal beauty without end.
The cone lava that created them during a major volcanic eruption through which the lava came down to the sea has been emptied by molten lava and cooled over time. The ceiling in some parts of the cone collapsed under its own weight and has created holes that are leaking the light in the volcanic cone and black. In this region so inhospitable you created an artificial lake of salt water because we are very close to mare.nel crabs which have been home much of a protected species and unique, blind albino crabs that normally live in the lightless depths of ' ocean. The lake water is very cold and the light here is small, so, in this surreal place Long has created a botanical garden, a center with a large theater / meeting room and concerts, a luxurious restaurant with rooms and dance floor that in times of high tide are filled with sea water pool .. a unique and inimitable.
Between the walls of black volcanic rock and the green of the botanical garden, a swimming pool from a white and blue water stands out as a handful of light in the dark.
The place is a destination of great personalities and hosts important dinners, meetings, stakeholders and the poor tourists who just want to see this magical place and cross the lake of crabs through a flooded bridge to see the beauties of nature.
Here he also hosts the famous house of the Volcanoes, a center for the study of the volcanic Canary Islands and beyond, the museum and relic of the history of volcanoes over the centuries.
All this leaves you breathless for the colors, the discoveries and beauty. We are a step away from the sea and the coast, the place is paid but what you see is priceless.
The vineyards: The Geria.
The area of vineyards of
Lanzarote is a raised area or special, get there by going Timanfaya going north, fields are cultivated with unique approaches to the world as the ground is not conducive to the cultivation since the ash layer and the large surface wind that blows here all year unperturbed .. so farmers have the mother of invention, and have practiced the holes in the ground to reach the fertile soil to plant the vine plants that are then protected from the wind by building stone walls for each plant. The result is an intense hard work and manual and a typical and unique landscape.
In the area of vineyards cè important then a house wine called La Geria, complete with a shop for souvenirs and taste the wine bar where they are produced, from red to white wines, not too fatty and tasty to the palate of the Italians well accustomed to our sacred wine.
The Geria is a place with a typical wooden barrels, large parking area to stroll and admire the place. The most famous wine is produced Malvasia
Lanzarote ..
Timanfaya National Park:
In
Lanzarote, close to Yaiza, there an area declared a World Heritage Site and biosphere reserve case involved the largest existing hardened lava which is a national park called the Timanfaya. The place is very original and unique, you arrive at ports of entry and already the landscape all around is left and rocky. The starting point and the meeting is a generic logo protected by the warmth of the ground with a restaurant that uses the heat of the volcanic basement for cooking, a gift shop and some points where we experimented with the heat coming from underground. We're talking about a hardened lava that has changed the landscape of parts of
Lanzarote, forming a rocky place is stunning. The tour of the lava flow can only be done on board buses organized and not for its own account, all roads are built with specific materials such as basalt and glass to protect against heat from the soil that would otherwise melt everything. The casting is kilometers, unique, original and beautiful. Km of volcanic rock that hardened over the years has taken on strange shapes and colors from lunar landscape. You can still see the hardened lava of years one above the other, the language of hardened lava of colors as diverse as the classic black, yellow, red, green, some are still active volcanoes of
Lanzarote and are controlled from the house of the Volcanoes, a structure to
Jameos de Agua, which controls all the volcanic activity of the Canaries archipelago, volcanic par excellence.
Lanzarote and has 365 volcanoes on it and the lava flow of Yazia lasted for 6 long years and has increased the area of the island. And a beautiful and unsettling landscape characteristic. Amazingly the narration during the visit of the history of eruptions of Yaiza.
You can eat in the restaurant of the park where many dishes are cooked in large oven that is a natural hole in the ground from which comes a tremendous heat that can cook food. The visit is unique and of preventing it is accessible from Fuerteventura and
Lanzarote with little more than an hour's sail by ferry from the port of Corralejo.
Lanzarote is an island very beautiful and wild, the Timanfaya is a unique and should be lived.
Between the lava flows extending a path frequented only by bus for the tour. The price of the visit I think is very high because we have paid a fee only for the entire trip to
Lanzarote.
The island of
Lanzarote is called the island of volcanoes than there one for each day of the year. Landscape is majestic!
