Malpaís de la Arena

Malpais de la Arena (Calle Montaña de la Arena, 74, 35640 La Oliva) – this natural park exists thanks to the last volcanic eruption that occurred on the island 10,000 years ago. Within this area is La Arena Volcano, which is about 420 meters high and is the highest point of this park (making this a natural eco-tourist destination). It has the largest population of Canarian tarabilla (a small bird that’s indigenous to the island), and unique plants like tabaibas and lichen can also be found here.
