Pilancones Natural Park, Natural park in San Bartolomé de Tirajana, Gran Canaria, Spain
The Pilancones Natural Park extends over 5,794 hectares of volcanic terrain, featuring deep ravines, narrow plateaus, and dense pine forests in its upper regions.
The massif originated from volcanic eruptions over 12 million years ago, making this protected area the most ancient geological formation on Gran Canaria island.
The Arteara necropolis, located within park boundaries, stands as one of the largest prehistoric burial grounds in the Canary Islands.
Visitors can reach the park through the GC-60 road connecting Maspalomas to San Bartolomé de Tirajana, with several marked hiking trails available for exploration.
Natural pools called pilancones form in the rock after water runoff, giving the park its name and creating small ecosystems throughout the protected area.
