Roque Cano
A huge volcanic plug rising behind the town of Vallehermoso like a canine tooth, and a landmark of the north.
Roque Cano is a volcanic plug about 250 meters high, rising to the north of the town of Vallehermoso. Its name means 'Dog Rock', as its shape resembles a dog's fang. It is visible from the town square, and nearby trails lead around to its base, with views over the town and valley. Vallehermoso is the main town in the north of the island, home to the Discovery Botanic Garden and a Sunday market. From town, a seawater swimming-pool park is about 3 km away. Free.
