EL BUFADERO: THE POWER OF THE OCEAN
On the east coast of Gran Canaria, near the beach of La Garita, there is a very special place: it is called El Bufadero. It is a natural rock formation where waves force their way in, creating sprays of water rising up as if it were a small sea geyser.
It is a place where you can feel all the power of the ocean. The water enters the cavities of the rock and is then pushed out violently. The sound is loud and continuous, and watching it up close is hypnotic. But it is important to be careful, because the sea here is unpredictable.
