![]() Jameos del Agua. Lanzarote - Canary Islands The Jameos del Agua — like the Cueva de los Verdes — are part of a 6Km long lava tube which formed about 3,000 years ago when the Montaña La Corona erupted. Molten lava continued to flow as the surface hardened, which in turn led to the formation of the tubes, which run down under the Atlantic. The word Jameo is used in this context to refer to the large openings in the tube which formed when parts of the roof collapsed due to a pressure build up caused by the volcanic gases. It is these open-air caves which Manrique used as the centrepiece for the attraction and which have given it a name. You enter the Jameos by climbing down a stone-staircase into the first cave known as ‘Jameo Chico’, which has been turned into an unusual bar / restaurant, with views over a small lake. This natural lake has extremely clear water — regulated by the Atlantic Ocean — and is home to a species of blind albino crabs known as ‘Jameitos’ which are only found on Lanzarote. These crabs have been adopted as the symbol of the Jameos del Agua image hosted on flickr ![]() Peñalba de Santiago, León - Castilla y León image hosted on flickr ![]() Tina Menor - Pesues - Cantabria image hosted on flickr ![]() Cañones del río Sil River Sil Canyons.
