Jameos del Agua, Lanzarote.

 Jameos del Agua is a set of pictures I took in July 2013. This trip to Lanzarote was the first time i'd ever taken any sort of interest in photography as a hobby and that was due to having a Samsung Galaxy Tablet. At the time i thought the picture quality was fantastic, it's only by recently going through them and finding that out of over 30 pictures taken barely 10 are usable to show the area around Jameos del Agua.

The Jameos del Agua attraction is a set of caves formed in the lava rock around the area. You can see a subterranean salt water lake which is home to a species of squat lobster, which are small, white and blind and can only be found at Jameos del Agua. It also features a restuarant, gardens, museum, auditorium and swimming pool. It is said that only the King of Spain is allowed to swim in the pool.

The attraction first opened to the public in 1966 and was the inspiration of Cesar Manrique, fully opening in 1977 including the auditorium which was closed for several years to the public.

These pictures were taken on the 30th July 2013 using a Samsung Galaxy Tablet, they can also be seen on my Clickasnap profile where they are full size, resolution and un-watermarked.

The swimming pool area, the guide I was with claimed that only the King
of Spain is allowed to swim here.

The stairs up from the saltwater cave to the swimming pool
and bar area.

The auditorium, the guide claimed gives one of the best sounds around.
