Timanfaya National Park is located on the island of Lanzarote in the Canary Islands, Spain. The park was established in 1974 and covers an area of 51 square kilometers. The park is one of the most popular tourist attractions on the island, receiving more than 1 million visitors each year.

The park is a volcanic landscape created by a series of eruptions that occurred between 1730 and 1736. The eruptions covered the area in a thick layer of lava, creating an otherworldly landscape that resembles the surface of the moon. The park is home to over 25 volcanoes, some of which are still active today.

The park is known for its geothermal features, including geysers, hot springs, and steam vents. Visitors can take a guided tour of the park to see these features up close. The tour takes visitors through the park in a bus, which is the only vehicle allowed in the park.

One of the most popular attractions in the park is the El Diablo restaurant, which is powered by geothermal energy. The restaurant uses a special grill that is powered by the heat from the volcano. The food is cooked at a temperature of 450 degrees Celsius, which gives it a unique flavor.

The park has strict regulations in place to protect the fragile environment. Visitors are not allowed to leave the designated paths or collect any rocks or plants from the park. The park is open daily, except for Christmas Day and New Year's Day.
