Nature and art merge in this place thanks to the creativity of the brilliant Lanzarote artist César Manrique, who transformed this natural space, located near the coast and below sea level, into a unique spot.

Jameos del Agua

The water of the interior lake formed in Jameo Grande comes from the sea, filtering until reaching the cave. Moreover, if you get close to the water, you will see some small albino and blind crabs, endemic to the cave, popularly known as “jameitos”.

The artificial pool is located outside, in an area covered with lava and volcanic stones, amidst large volcanic rock walls.
