Los Órganos
Monumento Natural de Los Órganos
Hundreds of hexagonal basalt columns on a sea cliff on the north coast, resembling a pipe organ. They can only be seen from the sea, by boat.
Los Órganos is a group of basalt columns on the northern coast, about 200 meters wide and 80 meters high. As the lava cooled and contracted, it formed hexagonal columns that line up neatly like a giant pipe organ, and the site is classified as a natural monument. It cannot be reached by land. You need to book a boat trip from Valle Gran Rey or San Sebastián. The round trip takes about 3–4 hours, and dolphins and even whales are often spotted along the way. Tickets cost about EUR 40–60. The north coast has rough waves, so those prone to seasickness should take medication in advance.
