| Visiting Timanfaya National Park, Lanzarote |
The friends have received last news about the terrorist massacre in Christchurch, New Zealand and they are astonished about it. They remember their travel to New Zealand some months ago and how proud they were of visiting this wonderful country, a great example of tolerance and respect, now shocked by this action that has no reason, because terrorism hasn't got any meaning except, as the same word says, it only wants to create terror.
All our hearts are with Zealanders and we know that only education in respect and diversity, far away of racism, intolerance and fascism, we will live in a better and securer world.
During the travel from Arrecife to Timanfaya National Park, The Grandma has studied a new lesson of her Intermediate Language Practice manual (Grammar 36).

Timanfaya National Park is national park in the southwestern part of the island of Lanzarote, Canary Islands. It covers parts of the municipalities Tinajo and Yaiza. The area is 51.07 square kilometres. The parkland is entirely made up of volcanic soil. The statue El Diablo by César Manrique is its symbol.

The greatest recorded eruptions occurred between 1730 and 1736.
The volcanic activity continues as the surface temperature in the core ranges from 100 to 600 °C at the depth of 13, which is demonstrated by pouring water into the ground, resulting in a geyser of steam which is an attraction for tourists.
There is only one active volcano, Timanfaya volcano after which the park is named.
In 1993, UNESCO designated a Biosphere reserve covering the whole of Lanzarote. The national park is one of the core areas of the biosphere reserve.
Access to the park by the public is strictly regulated to protect the delicate flora and fauna. There are one or two footpaths, and a popular short route where one can visit by camel.
There is a public car park from which one can tour the volcanic landscape by coach using a road that is otherwise closed to the public.
The Timanfaya National Park covers the southwestern part of the municipality and is where most of its mountains are located. The park features volcanic mountains and rugged lands. The rest of the park is in Yaiza municipality.
In Mancha Blanca is the chapel of the Our Lady of Dolours or Virgen de los Dolores, the patron saint of the island of Lanzarote.
