Roque Anambro

Roque Anambro, Volcanic summit in Anaga massif, Tenerife, Spain

Roque Anambro is a phonolite volcanic plug in the Anaga massif on Tenerife, reaching 864 m above sea level; its visible vertical needle rises about 75 m. Together with Roque Chinobre it forms the southern boundary of the Pijaral Integral Natural Reserve, and both are singled out as landscape features of scientific, geological and geomorphological interest.

The rock is tied to a modern legend about Beneharo, mencey of Anaga, who according to the story climbed Roque Anambro and threw himself off rather than surrender to the conquistadors, shouting "Guañoth Achamán!" before jumping. The tale says he fell onto an acebiño tree, staining it with blood, which is why its fruits are red. The sources present this as legend, not documented history.

The red fruits of the acebiño tree grow at the base of this rock formation and connect to local stories about the Guanche people. Visitors who walk here can see these plants as living links to the island's indigenous past.

Access to this summit is through hiking trails that connect across the Anaga massif network from various starting points. Wear sturdy footwear as the terrain is uneven and the paths can be rocky in places.

This rock formation displays a striking vertical needle shape that stands out distinctly from the surrounding landscape. The sharpness of its profile makes it one of the more recognizable peaks when hiking through the Anaga range.
