El Dedo de Dios

The 30-meter sea stack rises from the Atlantic Ocean near the northern coast of Gran Canaria, creating a natural stone pillar formation.

The basaltic rock structure formed over 200,000 years through geological processes until Tropical Storm Delta broke its upper section in 2005.

The natural monument received its name from author Domingo Doreste, though local fishermen originally referred to it as Roque Partido.

Visitors can observe the rock formation from Puerto de las Nieves beach in Agaete, which connects to Tenerife through regular ferry services.

This stone formation stands in one of Europe's rare coffee-producing regions, where the municipality combines fishing traditions with agricultural production.
