The Bufadero of La Garita, Gran Canaria, Spain

El Bufadero de La Garita

The Bufadero de La Garita is located in the municipality of Telde, in Gran Canaria. A bufadero is a geological formation typical of the coasts of volcanic origin, so it is easy to find them in the Canary Islands. Even so, El Bufadero de la Garita is considered by many to be the most spectacular in the archipelago. This underwater cave is filled with waves that, thanks to the compressed air in its cavity, cause this water to come out through the hole in the ceiling as if it were a geyser, reaching a great height.

Maspalomas Lighthouse

The Maspalomas lighthouse is located in the extreme south of Gran Canaria, in Maspalomas, an area belonging to the municipality of San Bartolomé de Tijarana. The lighthouse was inaugurated on February 1, 1890 and is the work of engineer Juan León y Castillo. It stands nearly 55 meters tall and has a range of 19 nautical miles (35 kilometers). Formerly, before the automation of the lighthouses, the operators stayed in the building attached to the lighthouse, a construction that recreates the typical Canarian house, currently a museum and exhibition center. To get to the Maspalomas lighthouse you have to do it from Meloneras and if you do it at sunset you can see one of the most beautiful sunsets in Gran Canaria.

Barranco de las Vacas

Its rock formations called Tobas de Colores, make it a magical place that attracts travelers from all over the world and one of the most photographed in Gran Canaria. Its access on foot is easy, not only because it does not have a large area but also because visiting it does not require a great physical shape, in fact, it can be visited with children and adults. Of course, parking is complicated, so it is better to go at less crowded hours, better if it is early and during the week.

Salinas de Tenefe

The Salinas de Tenefé are located on the seafront, in the municipality of Santa Lucía de Tirajana, in the southwest of the island of Gran Canaria (Spain). Las Salinas de Tenefé have 20,000 m² and have been declared a Site of Cultural Interest since 2005. They were built at the end of the 18th century to sell salt to fishing boats and supply the island's consumption. In its beginnings, the Salinas Tenefé were known as "Las Salinas de los Tres Molinos" since they had three windmills whose function was to pump water to the upper area of the industry. Currently, these salt flats continue to extract organic sea salt that you can find in their own store, but without a doubt, what most attracts the attention of the Salinas de Tenefé is its pink color and its beautiful views at sunset.

Anfi del Mar Beach

Its golden sand, its beautiful calm waters and its hotel and leisure offer make Amadores beach a perfect tourist spot for family travel.

Strolling through its streets and enjoying its fishing atmosphere is a wonder that you cannot miss on your trip to Gran Canaria, and even more so knowing that it is one of the European destinations with the most days of sunshine per year. So... any time is a good time to discover this fishing port and its small beach!

Caldera de los Marteles viewpoint

The Caldera de los Marteles viewpoint is located on the island of Gran Canaria (Canary Islands, Spain). From this place you can see the Caldera de los Marteles, a caldera of volcanic origin that was formed as a result of an eruption of almost a million years where the lava from the volcano mixed with underground water pockets. This formation is located in the eastern part of the summit of the island of Gran Canaria and is approximately 80 meters deep and 550 meters in diameter. The Caldera de los Marteles viewpoint is on the way on most routes to Roque Nublo, so it becomes a common stop on your route by car around the island of Gran Canaria. Its views, its environment full of vegetation and the dense fog that forms from one moment to the next make the Caldera de los Marteles Viewpoint a place well worth visiting.
