Roques de Anaga, Nature reserve in Santa Cruz de Tenerife Province, Spain.
The Roques de Anaga reserve contains two monolithic rocks rising from the Atlantic Ocean: Roque de Tierra at 179 meters and Roque de Fuera at 66 meters.
The Spanish government established Roques de Anaga as an integral nature reserve in 1987 to protect its geological formations and native species.
The reserve functions as an educational center where researchers study the ecological systems of the Canary Islands and conduct environmental monitoring programs.
Access to the reserve requires transportation by sea, and visitors must follow strict conservation guidelines to maintain the natural environment.
The giant lizard Gallotia galloti insulanagae exists exclusively on Roque de Fuera, making this location its only natural habitat in the world.
