Montañas del Fuego, Natural monument in Yaiza and Tinajo, Spain.
Montañas del Fuego spans 393 hectares within Timanfaya National Park and features multiple volcanic cones and extensive lava flows across the terrain. The landscape displays dark volcanic rock and barren surfaces where various geological structures are visible throughout the site.
A series of volcanic eruptions between 1730 and 1736 formed this geological complex. It was designated as a Natural Monument in 1994 to protect these significant geological structures.
The El Diablo restaurant at Islote de Hilario uses the volcano's natural heat to cook traditional Canarian dishes. Visitors can taste food prepared directly over the hot ground in this distinctive dining experience.
Visitors can explore the site through guided tours that explain the geological formations and intense ground temperatures. These tours provide insights into volcanic processes and help you understand the landscape better.
The soil beneath the surface maintains extreme temperatures that keep geological processes in motion. This ongoing heat activity shows the volcano still seems active and continues to shape the land.
