1. Finger of God
Unique rock formation northwest of Gran Canaria
适合： 照片, 夜生活, 经济, 与众不同
Finger of God (Dedo de Dios) is a volcanic rock stack in the quiet port town of Agaete, about a 30-minute drive from the Canaries’ capital of Las Palmas. The village of Puerto de Las Nieves has a viewing deck where you can view its silhouette brought on by nighttime illumination, making it a fun thing to do after dinner in Gran Canaria.
Spanish writer Domingo Doreste, aka Fray Lesco, popularised Dedo de Dios (formerly referred to as Roque Partido), saying it looked like an index finger pointing to heaven. This natural monument is believed to have formed over 14 million years ago. However, the upper part of the former 30-metre-high rock spire collapsed into the water when tropical storm Delta hit the area in 2005.
