Rock formations

Los Roferos, also called Stratified city or Antigua Rofera, is an abandoned quarry with years of erosion creating amazing rock structures.

This former quarry provides a surreal landscape to explore.

The ‘stratified city’ is composed of a series of torturous rock formations shaped over thousands of years by the island’s wind, sun and rain.

This natural erosion has created a surreal otherworldly landscape, with intriguing holes, tunnels and caves found in the rocks.

The site is constantly changing its appearance, as the weather ensures that the rocks continue to erode over time.

It’s well worth spending half an hour exploring this luna landscape.
