Roque Rublo

Stresses the Roque Nublo, geographical landmark that has been attributed the greatest symbolic value in this land. Monolith almost ninety meters high from its base, erect memory of a remote past and convulse from which it was born, has inspired painters, writers or musicians, finding its name in many works.
Modern geology has identified in it a special type of volcanic rock which they have called ‘Roque Nublo gap’. This gap is the result of the consolidation of burning clouds after their deposit and subsequent cooling. Due to its uniqueness, it gives its name to the second great volcanic cycle of Gran Canaria, the Roque Nublo Cycle, which covers a period of almost two million years (from 5.3 to 3.4 million years from the present).
The Roque Nublo has been and is a pilgrimage point for the Canaries, in a gesture with meanings that are rooted in the deepest collective subconscious of those who belong to this island culture. Likewise, Roque Nublo also represents the goal of many mountaineers since, in 1932, a German cordate crowned its summit for the first time.

Surrounded by the Rural Park of the Nublo, the legislation has singled it out as a Natural Monument.
