Our next stop was Lanzarote Island, the nearest of Spain's Canary Islands to the Africa mainland. We did not know until we arrived at the Timanfaya National Park that it was the remains of a six-month long series of volcanic activities in the 18th century, and had remained a moonscape to the present day. Many parts of the area are still hot from the volcanic eruptions.
