The perfect down-to-earth spot for a bite near Timanfaya, Las Malvas serves cracking tapas of paella, papas arrugadas, fried-egg-and-chorizo croquettes and Lanzarote cheese with fig jam, as well as bocadillos and platos combinados, on its tiny roadside terrace. It's 2km northeast of the park's Centro de Visitantes Mancha Blanca.
