Fuente de los Azulejos

Fuente de los Azulejos displays layers of rock in various colors, resembling traditional ceramic tiles against the mountainous landscape of Gran Canaria.

The geological processes that created this formation occurred over millions of years through hydrothermal alteration and mineral oxidation in the volcanic rocks.

Local residents named this formation after the Portuguese and Spanish decorative tiles due to the similar patterns and colors in the stone surfaces.

Visitors can reach the formation through marked paths starting from the nearby parking area, with optimal viewing conditions during morning hours.

The rocks contain distinct mineral compositions that create natural bands of red, yellow, white, and green colors throughout the entire formation.
