Jameosdel Agua is well worth a visit. Situated in the north of lanzarote this stunning attraction can be reached by hiring a car or going on a North or full island tour. Designed by Ceaser Manrique (a famous artist/architect from Lanzarote) from a collapsed lava tunnel, Jameos del Agua is an amazing site to behold. As you descend the first set of stairs into a bar area you will already be in awe of the place. On the next level down you will find an undergound lake boasting tiny blind white albino crabs that are usually found many miles below sea level. As you skirt this lake the sun shines in through gaps in the lava and creates a magical atmosphere. You can then ascend the steps on the other side into what can only be described as James Bond type setting. Here is a beautiful swimming pool set into stunning gardens and designed especially for the King of Spain. (don't take your swimming trunks only Juan Carlos himself is allowed to swim here!!) Off from the pool area is a natural auditorium formed in the lava where it s reported that Pavarotti has performed. Upon ascending yet more steps you will come across a Volcanolgy museum. This interesting area provides some insight into not only the Volcanoes of Lanzarote but also others around the world. Family freindly there are many touch exhibits with buttons to push etc. This is all amazing value for only 8 uros an adult (entry price included in bus excursions)

Advantages: Interesting and informative tour of volcanic lava tunnels and caverns. Unspoilt attraction developed to be in harmony with environment. Stunning optical illusion. Disadvantages: Hard to get to without transportation. Not suitable for very young, elderly or infirm. No catering outlet or much in the way of onsite facilities.
