El Diablo Restaurant

There are many natural phenomena in the island of Lanzarote. One of the most impressive ones is found inside the Timanfaya National Park. EL VULCAN GRILL is a natural barbecue improvised over a rock on top of an opening of with a depth of several meters where there is volcanic activity registered. This oven-grill was designed by César Manrique and it is really impressive to see how they place grills over this hole and to see how they cook all kinds of meats and fish, just like in a regular grill.

There is no fire, but if you place your hand you can get burned or lose your eyelashes if you get your head too close. I got close, since I was curious, and you can see from the picture the heat that comes out. This barbecue is next to the restaurant Los Diablos and behind the buses that take you to a guided tour of the volcanoes.

It is a very peculiar place, in the heart of the Timanfaya National Park in Lanzarote.

It is a mix of typical dishes and tourist attraction. You can try local food using the heat of the Timanfaya volcano. The food is cooked in a volcanic well (don’t put your hand inside). For dessert you have the “geyser” spectacle.
