Pinar de Tamadaba

(Las Palmas)

The Tamadaba Natural Park is a protected space which contains the biggest pine area on the island of Gran Canaria. The mountain mass descends the steep sloping mountain side, embedded ravines and abrupt cliffs, towards the sea , creating a landscape of great beauty where the impressive Roque Faneque with its 1,008 metre vertical fall to the sea, stands out. The Roque is considered one of the highest active cliffs in the world. On top of the massif, around 1,000 metres above sea level, there appears a flat surface occupied by a dense forest of Canarian pine. – See more at: http://www.grancanaria.com/patronato_turismo/Agaete.28994.0.html#sthash.lvjsjxAx.dpuf
