Roque del Moro, Natural rock formation in Pájara, Spain
Roque del Moro is a monumental rock formation that rises from the sea beside a sandy beach, creating a distinctive outline against the sky. The structure sits in a remote coastal location where geological forces have shaped its form over geological timescales.
The formation resulted from millions of years of geological processes where wind and ocean waves continuously eroded and reshaped the rock. This ongoing natural sculpting created the structure we see today, a product of relentless coastal weathering.
Locals view this formation as a symbol of the wild natural heritage that defines the Pájara coastline. The rock has become a landmark that represents the untamed character of Fuerteventura's landscape for those who live nearby.
Access requires either a four-wheel drive vehicle or a walk of several kilometers from the nearest parking area. Visitors should bring sturdy footwear, plenty of water, and sun protection due to the exposed terrain and lack of shade.
Next to the rock sits a natural pool of protected water where visitors can observe various marine species in their habitat. Local swimmers and snorkelers value this sheltered area for spotting fish and other sea creatures that are harder to see elsewhere.
