Yaiza, Las Palmas is the gateway to the south of the island of Lanzarote and onward to Playa Blanca. It is a pleasant sleepy village where most of the local council business is done. With recently tree lined roads, it houses the local townhall and has a floodlit public football stadium. Yaiza is mainly famous for Charco Verde which features a green pond and colorful rims that look like chocolate. The pavement-like ground is near the rim and is fenced. Part of the land to the north is part of the Timanfaya National Park.
