Om
Hurtige fakta: Sorte vulkanske klipper indrammer et netværk af havvandspools, der fyldes op igen med hver brydende bølge. En 50 minutters færgetur herfra forbinder Gran Canaria med Tenerife, hvilket gør det til et transportknudepunkt såvel som et tilflugtssted ved havet.
Højdepunkter: Den tropiske storm Delta knækkede den berømte Dedo de Dios klippesøjle i 2005, men erosion er langsomt ved at forme en ny finger fra den samme havbunke. Lokale svømmere samles ved daggry for at sikre sig de bedste pladser langs de naturlige lavapools, før middagspublikummet ankommer.
Insidertips
- Wear water shoes with rubber soles; the lava rock edges are razor-sharp and slippery when wet.
- The westernmost pool is deepest and coolest; locals jump in from the rocks at high tide for a thrill.
- Skip the poolside cafés and walk two minutes uphill to the main square for better coffee at half the price.
- Arrive by 9 AM on weekends to snag a towel spot on the smooth lava ledges between the pools.
