The Charco Verde, Lake Verde, Charco de los Clicos or Laguna de los Clicos, is a lagoon included in the Volcanoes Natural Park that is next to the town of El Golfo - Yaiza Municipality -, within the scope of the National Park of Timanfaya of the island of Lanzarote, in the Canary archipelago, Spain.
“Clicos refers to an edible shellfish that was formerly usual in the area, currently extinct”
The Charco Verde has acquired its greenish hue due to a type of seaweed of the species Ruppia maritima that lives inside, in addition to the sulfur that contains its waters.
