Uno de los sitios que mas me gustaron de mi viaje de hace unos años a Lanzarote fue Jameos del Agua. Es un paraje localizado en el interior de un túnel volcánico originado por la erosión del Volcán de la Corona. César Manrique lo creó como su primer Centro de Arte, Cultura y Turismo y merece la pena visitarlo.
One site that I liked in my Lanzarote trip few years ago was "Jameos del agua". It is a place located within a volcanic tunnel erosion caused by Corona Volcano. César Manrique created it as its first Arts, Culture and Tourism Centre and it`s worthy of a visit.

Un jameo es un tubo volcánico generado por el flujo de lava
en su interior al que se le ha desprendido la parte superior. Éste está formado por el jameo chico, donde se ubica un
restaurante, y el jameo grande donde se encuentra una piscina rodeada
por un jardín. Dentro de éste jameo, en 1987 se construyó un espectacular auditorio para 600 personas.
A jameo is a volcanic tube generated by the lava flowinits inside which has removed the top. This consists of the "small jameo", which houses a restaurant, and "large jameo", where a swimming pool surrounded by a garden. Within this jameo, in 1987 a spectacular auditorium was built for 600 people.

En el interior de la cueva hay un pequeño lago natural de aguas claras que alberga una docena de especies endémicas de gran interés científico, el más famoso y visible es el cangrejo ciego. Es una especie bastante curiosa pues la oscuridad de la cueva provoca la carencia de pigmentación y que su color sea blanco.
Inside the cave there is a small natural lake of clear water that contains a dozen endemic species of scientific interest, the most famous and visible is the "blind crab". It`s a rather curious species because the darkness of the cave causes lack of pigmentation and its color is white.
Como curiosidad, los Jameos del agua van a dar al túnel de la Atlántida, la gruta subacuática más grande y más profunda del mundo. Nunca ha sido explorado hasta el final debido a sus profundidades, por lo que todavía guarda un mundo desconocido para el ser humano.
As curiosity, Jameos del agua flow into the "Atlantis tunnel", the largest underwater cave and deepest in the world. It has never been explored to the end because of their depths, so that saves a world still unknown to human.
