Los Azulejos de Veneguera (Fuente de los Azulejos)
Coloured rock formation beside the GC-200 in Mogán: a roadside viewpoint with parking; there are no pools or bathing spots here.
Los Azulejos de Veneguera, also known as Fuente de los Azulejos, is a striking rock formation beside the GC-200 road in the municipality of Mogán, in the south-west of Gran Canaria. It is a roadside viewpoint with a parking area where you can stop to take in the colours and photograph the rock face up close; the afternoon light usually brings out the tones best. Some maps show the spot as Charcos Azules, but there are no pools or bathing spots here: what you see are the coloured rock walls that the road skirts between Veneguera and La Aldea.
The colour comes from hydrothermal alteration on the south-western rim of the Tejeda palaeocaldera. Hot fluids and successive eruptions changed the chemical composition of a succession of ignimbrites and pyroclastic and epiclastic deposits, leaving green, bluish, ochre, yellow and reddish tones exposed. That series forms the Azulejos Member of the Montaña de los Hornos Formation and is dated to around thirteen million years ago. The Spanish geological and mining institute records it as a site of geological interest, with outcrops between kilometres 41 and 50 of the GC-200. The Fuente de Veneguera and the Mirador de Veneguera lie close by.
