"El Diablo" by César Manrique

Lanzarote, Canary Islands, Spain

Timanfaya National Park is a Spanish national park located in the southwest of the island of Lanzarote, Canary Islands.
The area of the park is 51 sq km (19.7 sq mi) and the parkland is made up entirely of volcanic soil.
The statue "El Diablo" by César Manrique is the symbol for the park.
The greatest recorded eruptions occurred between 1730 and 1736.
The volcanic activity continues as the surface temperature in the core ranges from 100 to 600 °C at a depth of 13 m (43 ft).
In 1993, UNESCO designated a Biosphere reserve covering the whole of Lanzarote.
The national park is one of the core areas of the biosphere reserve.
Access to the park by the public is strictly regulated to protect the delicate flora and fauna.
