Los Marteles, Volcanic caldera in Gran Canaria, Spain

The Caldera de los Marteles features steep walls with a depth of 80 meters and a diameter of 550 meters in eastern Gran Canaria.

Farmers have cultivated the bottom of the caldera for generations, creating geometric patterns that reflect traditional agricultural methods in the Canary Islands.

The natural reserve displays multiple native plant species, including the Canary Island pine and the blue tajinaste, which represent the local flora heritage.

Multiple trails and paths provide access to viewpoints where visitors can see Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and the surrounding mountainous landscapes.

The interaction between molten lava and underground water sources created this volcanic formation less than one million years ago through a freatomagmatic eruption.
