The government of Lanzarote agreed with Cesar Manrique's suggestion that the wild volcanic landscape around the Timanfaya should be protected, and obtained support for this form Madrid. In August 1974, the Ministry of Agriculture issued a decree designating the area as a National Park.
Manrique had already designed Restaurante El Diablo and built it in 1970, on the Islote del Hilario, the spot where the underground temperature is highest.
