“Las Montañas del Fuego” are like a walk on the Moon (or Mars) on earth. They originated after the violent volcanic eruptions in the south of Lanzarote between 1730 and 1736, resulting in the Parque Nacional de Timanfaya. The “Mountains of Fire” have a deserted beauty, and a range of ochre shades that astound all visitors. #GreatOutdoors #Nature
