Gran Canaria - Cenobio de Valerón

Some 4km/2.5mi beyond Gáldar we leave C 810 and drive on the old winding coast road. A signpost points the way to the Cenobio de Valerón, a complex of 298 caves under a natural basalt arch which is one of the most interesting relics of the ancient Canarians - and one of the most puzzling, since it is not known what function it served.
