LANDSCAPE
The most important aspect of the landscape is its geomorphology,
with the presence of formations that are significant due to their unique
appearance and scientific, cultural and educational interest. The most important
formations are to be found in the areas that have had the most recent volcanic
activity, those that present the eroded shapes of ancient volcanic structures,
areas covered by pumice sand (“jable”), and the sedimentary formations of the
basal complex, which contain fossils that enable geological dating.
These areas are specifically: Corralejo Dunes Natural Park and
Lobos Isle, with incredible and evocative landscapes of golden sand and
beautiful beaches with transparent waters of amazing blues and turquoises;
Tindaya Mountain, the Bayuyo lava stream, a true geological extension of the
island, and in particular, the line of cinder cones, visible from the tracks
made for this purpose; the Las Arenas lava stream , the Los Arrabales lava
stream and the area of the Jacomar cauldron, the coastal area of Puerto de la
Peņa, and the raised beaches.
