On the Tuesday during our vacation we took a day excursion to Timanfaya National Park, situated on the enormous lava flow created during the 18th century mega-eruptions. On the way, we stopped and rode camels (more on this later). Who needs Giza?
The park is fascinating. The lava hardened hundreds of years ago, but a few inches down is still hot (hundreds of degrees Celsius a couple of meters down)! A restaurant there simply dug a well and cooks steaks etc. from this heat.
On the way back, we stopped on the coast at Los Hervideros (roughly translated as “boilers” in English), one of the most beautiful coastal areas I’ve ever seen, even more dramatic because of strong winds.
