Fuente de los Azulejos
Fuente de los Azulejos is an unusual rock formation on the island of Gran Canaria.[1] The name literally means "fountain of tiles", because of the colour of the rocks resembling Portuguese tiles. These colours are caused by the process of hydrothermal alteration[2] and oxidisation.
