Roque Bentayga
A Natural Monument at 1404 m in the Tejeda caldera, a rock sacred to the ancient Canarians with rock-cut granaries and funerary caves on its slopes.
Roque Bentayga is an imposing Natural Monument rising to 1404 metres in the great Tejeda caldera, in the mountainous interior of Gran Canaria. Beyond its geological value, it was a sacred place for the ancient Canarians, who left rock-cut granaries, funerary caves and ritual spaces on its slopes, now a key reference for the island's aboriginal heritage.
An interpretation centre helps visitors understand its history and meaning, and a short trail leads towards the caves and viewpoints. It is a place to walk unhurriedly, take in the volcanic summit landscape and photograph one of the most symbolic sites in the heart of Gran Canaria.
