Environment

Yaiza is a pretty and historic white-washed village, at the foothills of the famous Timanfaya National Park. This relaxing and scenic village is an ideal spot to soak up the authentic local atmosphere, admire spectacular volcanic views and explore the surrounding natural attractions as well as the lovely south coast beaches.

Things to Do

In the village itself you can sit in the tree-lined Plaza de los Remedios next to the 17th century church of the Nuestra Senora de los Remedios and the House of Culture.

Being located just moments from the Timanfaya National Park a guided tour around the lava fields and volcanic landscape, by coach or camel is a must. The Timanfaya restaurant uses the natural heat from the ground to grill meat and fish and, it is an ideal spot to enjoy impressive sunsets and panoramic views.

Other natural attractions on the edges of the Timanfaya National Park include Salinas de Janubio, El Golfo and La Geria. At Salinas de Janubio you can visit the saltworks, set alongside the blue lagoon and, following the coast road you will come to the striking black beach and the green lagoon that fills the sea facing semi-circular crater at El Golfo.
