The publication, available on the website of the Art, Culture and Tourism Centers, was created by archaeologist and Cultural Heritage manager, Jesús Cáceres, and historian Jaime Galván. It includes images altruistically provided by ethnographer and landscape photographer José María Barreto, offering a comprehensive view of Lanzarote's emblematic natural area.
“"This project allows us to appreciate the enormous heritage value of Timanfaya from an open, contemporary, and accessible perspective."
The work is structured around six thematic axes, covering everything from the destructive processes of volcanic lava flows to the emergence of heroic agriculture. Its renewed approach explores the past, present, and future of Timanfaya National Park and its adjacent areas, inviting residents and visitors to rediscover this unique territory.
“"It is an invitation to rediscover a territory that is the identity of Lanzarote through texts and images that broaden our understanding and enjoyment of one of the most recognizable volcanic landscapes in the world. A space that, furthermore, recently celebrated the 50th anniversary of its declaration as a National Park."
Each volume, approximately 50 pages long, contains large-format photographs and detailed texts with numerous references, allowing for a deep immersion into the park's knowledge. The main objective of this initiative is to raise awareness about the importance of protecting Lanzarote's unique volcanic landscape.
