You step from the van to a coastline where black lava meets a calm Atlantic breath—pools of glassy water sit like secret mirrors cut into the rock. Sea spray skates across basalt ledges; the guide points out where lava flows hardened into smooth platforms that cradle natural pools large enough to soak in.

Salt from Salinas de Janubio was once a cornerstone of Lanzarote’s economy; the saltworks sit behind a lava-built barrier that trapped seawater after volcanic eruptions.
Conservation
