Los Hervideros (the English translation would be The Bubbling Sources) were formed by a lava flow meeting the Atlantic ocean back in the 18th century. Los Hervideros refers to the amazing display that sees the waves force water into the labyrinth of caves with such a dramatic power it appears as if the sea is bubbling and boiling. Los Hervideros wave show is really impressive on stormy sea days. A narrow path brings you to a small balcony carved in the lava from where you can admire bubbling water on calm days and huge waves on rougher days. Lanzarote was struck by a series of volcanic eruptions between 1730 and 1736. Lava covered one fourth of its territory, creating El Mar de Lava (The Lava Sea) on the south-west of the island. The coast at Los Hervideros is made by rough cliffs and grottoes, both results of lava’s solidification and erosion. The waves create a terrific show by forcing huge amounts of water into the lava labyrinth offering, as a result, a bubbling ocean to the visitor’s sight.

Fascinating rock formations, lava tunnels and blow holes created during the volcanic erruptions. The sea can be very rough and turbulent here but this makes the blow holes more interesting as when the sea water enters, they become great water geysers...beware, you may get wet!!

Hervideros, On a day with strong wind sea and you can see a real show in the fight between rocks and sea.

Sight Seeing point: Lava Caves in the sea make an optical ilusion of what looks like boiling water.

The scenery here is awesome, a series of blow holes and caves which have been eroded into the lava. You can walk around the cliffs and watch the waves crashing into the caves.
