Roque Nublo

Nature · Tejeda, Gran Canaria - Oeste, Las Palmas

Basalt monolith about 80 meters tall rising to 1,813 meters, the third-highest point in Gran Canaria and a geological symbol of the island. It was an aboriginal place of worship and a likely reference point for astronomical alignments used in the agricultural calendar; declared a natural monument in 1994 within the Parque Rural del Nublo, it has formed part since 2019 of the Cultural Landscape of Risco Caído and the Sacred Mountains of Gran Canaria, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its base is reached by about a 40-minute walk.
