Roque Nublo, Volcanic monolith in central Gran Canaria, Spain

The basalt rock formation rises 80 meters from its base and stands at 1813 meters above sea level in the Tejeda municipality.

The geological formation dates back 4.5 million years, emerging during a period of intense volcanic activity on the island of Gran Canaria.

The indigenous Guanche people established this natural monument as a ceremonial site, performing religious rituals at its base.

Visitors can reach the viewpoint through a 1.5-kilometer marked trail starting from the Degollada de La Goleta parking area on the GC-600 road.

The surrounding Nublo Rural Park contains multiple geological formations, including the Monk's Rock at 1713 meters above sea level.
