Often referred to as Montañas del Fuego (Fire Mountains), this area showcases a fascinating array of geological phenomena and is home to a unique endemic flora, thriving in the high subterranean temperatures. Timanfaya serves as a living laboratory for biological research and stands out as one of Europe's most extraordinary natural habitats. In recognition of its distinctiveness, UNESCO designated the Timanfaya volcanic field as a national park in 1993.

Qinglong Temple, or the Temple of the Green Dragon, is a historic site known for its deep ties to both Chinese and Japanese Buddhism. Established during the Tang Dynasty, it gained further significance when the Japanese monk Kukai (founder of Shingon Buddhism) came to study here in the 9th century. The temple is also renowned for its stunning cherry blossoms, which are particularly spectacular during the annual festival held in March and April. With both Japanese and Chinese cherry blossom varieties, the temple grounds transform into a sea of pink and white flowers, attracting many visitors, especially in late March to early April, when the blossoms are at their peak.
