EL DIABLO RESTAURENT in LANZAROTE Island of Spain cook food using volcano's heat.

                   On Lanzarote ,one of the Spanish canary island, a restaurant has found an ingenious and dramatic source of sustainable cooking heat:they grill over a volcano. If this prompts image of a lava spewing disaster zone rather than a causal dining experience, fear not. The volcano, which last erupted in 1824, gently bubbles away six feet below the ground of Ei Diablo, cooking traditional canarian fare at a steady 400 degree Celsius.

                    The grilling takes place on a circular rack placed over a large floor - level pit At first glance the pit resembles a traditional well-until one peers down to see jagged volcanic rock and a pool of bubbling, smoldering liquid below.

                     El Diablo opened its doors in 1970, a project of late artist and architect cesar manrique in collabration with architects Eduardo Caceres and jesus soto. The quirky stone and glass walled building sits on volcanic rock within Timanfaya National Park. Diners are invited to enjoy not only the spectacle of volcano of volcano seared cuisine  but also dramatic views of black lava fields, and an eccentric interiors which includes a live tree glowing through the center of the dining room.

                     While the Montanas del fuego, or fire mountain on which the restaurant sits are believed to have been formed from a volcanic heat so close to the surface manrique was unable to dig foundations for the structure and instead laid nine layers of basalt rock to support the restaurant.
