Swim in Volcanic Rock Pools: Las Salinas de Agaete Guide
Las Salinas de Agaete are a series of natural swimming pools carved into the volcanic rock along the coast of Agaete. These unique pools offer a safe and refreshing swimming experience, protected from the open ocean waves. The crystal-clear water and dramatic volcanic landscape make it a popular spot for locals and tourists alike. The formation of Las Salinas is a result of volcanic activity and erosion over thousands of years. The lava flows created natural depressions in the rock, which were then shaped and smoothed by the relentless action of the sea. The resulting pools provide a natural barrier against the strong Atlantic waves, creating a calm and safe environment for swimming. Visitors can enjoy swimming and sunbathing in the natural pools. The pools are connected by walkways, making it easy to explore the different areas. There are also sunbathing areas and changing facilities available. The nearby town of Agaete offers a variety of restaurants and cafes where you can enjoy fresh seafood and other local specialties. The area is known for its fresh seafood, particularly grilled fish and seafood paella.
