Prior to the holiday we had pre-booked a (free) guided walk in the part of the National Park which has restricted access. We assembled at the Mancha Blanca visitor's centre, and eight of us set off in a minibus to the start of the walk.
Our driver and guide was Nino, who was very knowledgeable and gave us lots of information about the volcanoes and the Lanzarote cultural and social history in general.
The walk was on a marked trail through the lava fields, with Nino identifying out various points of interest.
We saw some peregrine falcons and lizards.
The walk took about 3 hours, then we were taken back to the visitor's centre.
We then went to the coastal village of El Golfo, where we walked to the spectacular green lagoon called Charco de Los Clicos.
After having a drink in a bar overlooking the sea we went back to the apartment for a rest, then out for dinner to La Bohemia where we shared a mixed grill. This had more meat than we could eat - sirloin steak, fillet steak, sausages, ribs, two type of pork - very good.
