Piscinas Naturales Las Salinas - Agaete, Natural pools in Agaete, Gran Canaria, Spain.
The natural pools consist of three volcanic cavities connected by underwater tunnels, providing a protected aquatic environment suitable for swimming in different tidal conditions with clear, calm waters.
These pools were formed by ancient volcanic activity and salt deposits, creating natural swimming areas that have been used by local communities for generations as a protected and respected natural resource.
The pools represent a prime example of how volcanic nature and local communities have created unique spaces for leisure and wellness, promoting sustainable and environmentally respectful tourism practices.
The pools are easily accessible by car from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria via the GC-2 highway, with free parking areas available nearby and no entrance fees required for visitors.
