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

Located at 864 meters above sea level, Roque Anambro stands as a phonolitic formation with a vertical needle shape reaching 75 meters in height.

During the Spanish conquest of Tenerife, according to local narratives, Mencey Beneharo chose to jump from this summit rather than surrender to the conquistadors.

The red fruits of the acebiño tree at the base of Roque Anambro are connected to the legend of Mencey Beneharo's final moments of freedom.

The summit marks the southern border of Pijaral Natural Reserve and provides access through established hiking trails within the Anaga massif network.

This volcanic needle formation, positioned at coordinates 28°33′59″N and 16°10′11″W, creates a natural boundary alongside Roque Chinobre in the Anaga landscape.

GPS coordinates: 28.56640,-16.16958
