El Golfo, Lanzarote

El Golfo es un anfiteatro abierto al océano que se formó a raíz de las erupciones de 1730. La laguna que ocupa el fondo del semicírculo surgió debido a la inundación del cráter. Su color verde se debe a las algas que habitan en su superficie.

El volcán está formado por toba porosa, la cual, por acción del tiempo ha creado formaciones espectaculares.

El mar pasa por medio del cráter formando una hermosa playa negra que contrasta con el verde del Lago, comunicándose con éste por medio subterráneo.

Este lago ha sido declarado Reserva Natural, por lo que el baño está prohibido.

The Gulf is an open ocean amphitheater to be formed following the eruptions of 1730. The lagoon that occupies the bottom of the semicircle arose due to flooding of the crater. Its green color comes from the algae that live on its surface.

The volcano is made of porous lava, which, by the action of time has created spectacular formations.

The sea passes through the crater forming a beautiful black beach that contrasts with the green lagoon, communicating with it by underground means.

This lake has been declared a nature reserve , so the bathroom is prohibited.
