Roque de la Bonanza rises from the ocean in Las Playas bay. Marine erosion has shaped this formation, whose rocky arch defines its silhouette. [1]
CanariWiki explains its origin as a volcanic dyke left standing when the sea eroded the surrounding material. This process of relief inversion allows the rock’s present shape to reveal both volcanic activity and the ocean’s later action. [1]
The submerged area also has natural interest: trumpetfish, blacktail combers, ornate wrasses and sponges are described in its waters. From land, the Isora viewpoint offers a view of Roque de la Bonanza within the landscape of Las Playas Natural Monument. [1]
