Last year UNESCO has declared Risco Caido and the Sacred Mountains of Gran Canaria a World Heritage Site. It is Gran Canaria's first World Heritage Site.
This is not my 1st card from this Spanish site but is the 1st I'm posting here. It was sent by my penpal Anna-Maria who visited the island last month.
Risco Caido and the Sacred Mountains of Gran Canaria Cultural Landscape encompasses a huge central mountainous area on Gran Canaria island, sheltered by the Caldera de Tejeda, and formed of cliffs and ravines, in an area of exceptional biodiversity. The property contains a set of manifestations, which are primarily archaeological, of an extinct insular culture that seems to have evolved in total isolation, from the arrival of the first Berbers from North Africa, probably at the beginning of our era, until the Spanish conquest in the 15th century. - in: https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1578/

Roque Nublo is one of the most representatives icons from the Canary Islands and, of course, from Gran Canaria. It is located in the municipality of Tejeda and it is the second highest place from the island with 1.813 meters high above sea level. Moreover, the Roque Nublo and its surroundings were declared Special Natural Area in 1987. - in: https://localguidegrancanaria.com/en
