A volcanic massif around eleven million years old, the oldest on Lanzarote, declared a Monumento Natural (Natural Monument) in 1994 after being a natural area of national interest since 1987. At its southwestern tip, already recorded on Torriani's 16th-century maps, lie the Papagayo beaches, on the coast of the old Rubícón. Photo: Alberto-g-rovi (CC BY 4.0) What to see and do in Yaiza
