Tubo volcánico de La Corona, Lava tube in Haría, Spain.
The Tubo volcánico de La Corona is a volcanic tunnel extending across the northern part of Lanzarote, with sections reaching diameters of approximately 25 meters. Its structure displays the characteristic features of ancient lava flows, forming a complex underground system that visitors can partially explore.
The tunnel formed approximately 21,000 years ago when lava from the La Corona volcano flowed toward the Atlantic Ocean during the last glacial period. This geological origin makes it a significant record of Lanzarote's volcanic past.
Two sections of the tunnel serve as venues where concerts and cultural performances take place deep underground, turning the space into an unusual setting where art meets geology. This underground location has become a memorable destination for experiencing music and theatre in an extraordinary natural setting.
Access to the tunnel is available through guided tours at specific entry points, with lighting and safety measures in place throughout the accessible sections. Visitors should dress warmly since underground temperatures remain consistently cool.
A remarkable section called Túnel de la Atlántida extends approximately 1,600 meters underwater, making it the longest submerged volcanic tube in the world. This extraordinary submarine extension makes the site geologically exceptional.
