Cenobio de Valeron
Cenobio de Valeron submitted by Themistokles : Main view of cave system (Vote or comment on this photo)
Cenobio de Valeron is situated in the north of Gran Canaria. Under a natural arch of basalt have been arranged a large number of chambers into the volcanic tuff.

One interpretation is that the so called "Harimaguadas" (sacred virgens) have lived here and have stood sentinel over the stocks of grain. In the soft tuff there can be seen stairs and rabbets of the former doors.

Above of the large cave system are situated seven seats embossed into the basalt stone.
