Caldera de Bandama

Santa Brígida, Gran Canaria, Spain
Tel: +34 928 446602 Web: Visit this site »
 

Located 10km from the city centre in the neighbouring municipality of Santa Brigida, Caldera Bandama is the crater of a volcano in all its majesty, and a reminder of the volcanic origin of the whole archipelago. It is around 1km in diameter, with a 10km permiter and an average depth of 200 metres. However, the importance of Bandama, a place where grapes were once grown and wine produced in the last century, is due not only to its landscape and plants, some of which are unique, but also to its archeology, as inside the crater, in the north wall to be precise, there are various caves used by the original Islanders as silos and homes. For more information, contact City Hall at the above number.

  • Excellent scenery, surreal and unusual.
  • The cafe is often closed and when open the owner does not welcome you.

“There are two walks that you can do. The first walk is around the rim of the crater. ”
