El Diablo Restaurant

PictureLaberint Josep Pujiula by Smolera/Wiki Commons
Nothing turns up the heat quite like barbecuing directly above bubbling lava. It is perhaps the only place on the planet where visitors can eat volcanically charbroiled chicken quarters for dinner. A huge cast iron grill caps off a large cylindrical hole in the ground that leads to the red river beneath. Fish and fowl cook on the grill, just 6 feet above bubbling lava.

The volcanic activity is recognized by volcanologists as a geothermal anomaly left over from an eruption back in 1824. The island on which the restaurant sits is dotted by close to 100 volcanoes that pushed up through the earth around the time of the last eruption, earning it the name “Montañas del Fuego.” All that volcanic activity burbling beneath the surface gives off a temperature of 400 degrees Celsius for the chefs at the restaurant to grill meat over.

El Diablo Restaurant is settled on the scenic Lanzarote Island, the northernmost of the Canary Islands. True to the paradisiacal reputation of the Canary Islands, Lanzarote is called “Island of Eternal Spring.” The whole Island was formed as volcanic outcroppings, and parts of the land are covered in layers of cooled magma. The island is also known for its reddish colored sand that makes it look like visitors have landed on a Martian landscape.
