Hiking

In the grotto live albino crabs that actually live 3000 meters below sea level.

Hiking

The grotto was discovered by Cesar Manrique and made attractive to tourists. Here you can find, among other things, the albino crabs, which otherwise only occur in the deep ocean. The water level of the lake in the grotto falls and rises accordingly with the ebb and flow.
The grotto and the Cuevas de Jameo are absolutely worth seeing and a must in Lanzarote...

Hiking

The 'JAMEOS DEL AGUA' belong to the 'CACT (Centros de Arte, Cultura y Turismo)'. Originally it was a broken lava bubble from a lava flow that flowed into the sea from the volcano 'La Corona' here. In the 1960s, this place became a rubbish dump and César Manrique, the artistic initiator, and José Ramírez Cerdá, the island's president at the time, started the initiative to create this tourist center. Jesus Soto was significantly involved in the realization years 1963 to 1966.
