Om
Snabba fakta: Svarta vulkaniska klippor ramar in ett nätverk av havsvattenpooler som fylls på med varje ny våg. En 50 minuters färja härifrån förbinder Gran Canaria med Teneriffa, vilket gör det till både en transportknutpunkt och en havsidig tillflyktsort.
Höjdpunkter: Tropiska stormen Delta knäckte den berömda Dedo de Dios klipppelaren 2005, men erosion formar långsamt en ny finger från samma havsstack. Lokala badare samlas i gryningen för att ta de bästa platserna längs de naturliga lavapoolerna innan middagspubliken anländer.
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.
