Cueva de los Verdes, Lava tube cave in Lanzarote, Spain
The volcanic tunnel extends nearly 8 kilometers through the earth, featuring interconnected galleries with heights reaching 50 meters and widths of 15 meters.
The cave system formed approximately 4000 years ago during the eruption of La Corona Volcano, creating an extensive network of underground passages.
During the 16th and 17th centuries, local inhabitants used these caves as protection from North African pirates who frequently raided the Canary Islands.
Tours operate daily from 10:00 to 18:00, with tickets priced at 8 euros for adults and 4 euros for children, requiring advance reservations.
The cave contains an underground auditorium where classical music, jazz, and opera performances take place, utilizing the natural acoustic properties of the space.
