CONNECT WITH LANZAROTE: legend and history
CONNECT WITH THE PAST
In September the festival of the patron saint of Lanzarote is celebrated: the Virgin of the Volcanoes in Mancha Blanca.
According to legend, it was the miracle of the Virgin that put an end to the six interminable years of the eruptions of Timanfaya. The lava flow stopped right next to the place where the hermitage of Los Dolores is located today.
A lady dressed in black appeared to Juana Rafaela not far from that place while she was grazing with her herd of goats.
