“Nowhere else shall we see such a clear creative process like the one we can see in Lanzarote. The island promotes artistic behaviour and a physical approach to pure creation.”

JAMEOS DEL AGUA
“Jameo” is a term used to refer to an opening caused by the collapse of the top of a volcanic tube as a result of the loss of gases built up inside.
Jameos del Agua are located on the inside of the volcanic tube, caused by the eruption of Volcán de la Corona, and named after a lake on the inside that is a unique geological formation, that was created through filtration, as it is below sea level. In this pristine water natural lake, there live several endemic local species, such as Munidopsis polimorpha, a tiny, blind albino crab of unknown origin.
Its environment is protected as Jameos Site of Scientific Interest by the Law of Natural Spaces of the Canary Islands, and it is part of the Volcán and Malpaís de La Corona National Park, as well as Site of Cultural Interest.
The Auditorium of “Jameos del Agua”, main headquarters of the Lanzarote Visual Music Festival, is a spectacular stage space set up on the inside of a volcanic cave, with capacity for 500 people. This is a unique place in the world thanks to its geological features and peculiar acoustic conditions.


During the Festival, complementary activities will be held there such as workshops, gatherings and film screenings, all of the them connected to the idea of exploring the different manifestations of contemporary sound and music.


CUEVA DE LOS VERDES
The auditorium, located at the heart of the cave, holds 350 people. Its outstanding acoustics, layout and extraordinary beauty of its geological features, make it a privileged stage for the chosen concerts.
