Famara

About

Famara is the main mountainous massif in the north of the island of Lanzarote in the Canary Islands. It is the eastern slope of a volcano erupting in the Miocene. The cliffs of Famara (Risco de Famara) are the remains of a caldera of about ten kilometres in diameter centred on the south of La Graciosa. The cliffs of Famara peak at an altitude of 671 m at the Peñas del Chache. A village at the range's seaside is Caleta de Famara, part of Teguise.
