Lanzarote-virtual | El Golfo | Romantic village near the Timanfaya Mountains

El Golfo is a tiny village at the end of the country road which comes from Yaiza, from the last roundabout when you leave the village Yaiza in direction to Playa Blanca. You may also drive on the very interesting and exciting road from the Salinas - the salt fields. From here the road follows the coast line through rough black lava fields. You pass the sightseeing place "Los Hervideros" (washed out lava caves at the rocky cost) where you can walk through and watch water and waves underneath in the lava cave.

When you drive further on to El Golfo you will have the feeling that the lava ashes and black lava rocks just have been fallen down from the sky last week - everything seems to be fresh and it looks as just happened.
This road is an adventure - look to the different colours of the rocks, the Timanfaya Mountains, the colours of the ocean and the rough landscape. You never will forget this impressions.

If you follow the street signs you finally will reach El Golfo - at the end of that road, in a small beach surrounded by all the lava which came down from the Timanfaya Mountains.

The village is very famous for the best sunsets while having your dinner sitting on one of the lovely terraces in the restaurants and bars you will find here. Take your camera with you...
In El Golfo you find several very good restaurants which serve local food, fresh fish and fantastic seafood.

Fresh Fish of the Day

We recommend this place: take some hours of your holiday time and enjoy the calmness at that place and the marvellous nature crowned with an unforgetable sunset (...if the weather gives you the chance).
