👉 List of Spanish national parks in the context of Timanfaya National Park

Timanfaya National Park (Spanish: Parque Nacional de Timanfaya) is a Spanish national park in the southwestern part of the island of Lanzarote, in the Canary Islands. It covers parts of the municipalities Tinajo and Yaiza. The area is 51.07 square kilometres (19.72 sq mi), entirely made up of volcanic soil. It is the only National Park in Spain which is entirely geological. The statue El Diablo of César Manrique is its symbol. Timanfaya National Park represents a sign of recent and historical volcanism in the Macaronesian region. The last volcanic eruptions occurred in 1824; however, most of the area covered by the national park was transformed by the eruptive period from 1730 to 1736.
