View of Roque Nublo

Nice views along a relaxing hike. Easily accessible from the pico de las nieves

The Roque Nublo, located in the municipality of Tejeda on the island of Gran Canaria, is considered one of the largest natural rocks in the world. It is a symbol of the island and of great importance to its inhabitants. It rises 80 metres above its base and 1,813 metres above sea level. It was a place of worship for the indigenous people. In 1987, its surroundings were declared a nature reserve and seven years later a rural park. Its gigantic appearance is only surpassed by the Pico de Las Nieves, which is the highest point in Gran Canaria at 1,949 metres above sea level.

Roque Nublo was important as a sacred mountain in Canario times. They had built a cult site here where sacrifices were made to the sun god. The rock still has great significance today in folk songs such as Sombra del Nublo (Shadow of the Cloud Rock).
