The Salinas de Tenefé, located on the southeast coast of Gran Canaria near Pozo Izquierdo, are among the best-preserved traditional salt flats in the Canary Islands. Dating back to the late 18th century, these historic salt pans are still in operation today, producing sea salt using centuries-old methods that rely on the sun, wind, and Atlantic Ocean.
The geometric patterns of the salt ponds, reflecting the sky in shades of blue, white, and pink, create a striking landscape that is especially beautiful in the soft light of the evening. As the sun begins to set, the salt flats glow with warm colours, making this one of the most photogenic coastal locations on the island.
After exploring the salt flats, treat yourself to a glass of local Canarian wine at the small bar overlooking the salinas. Sit back, relax, and watch the sun sink below the horizon as the Atlantic breeze and peaceful surroundings create the perfect ending to the day. It's a simple but unforgettable experience that combines local flavours, stunning scenery, and one of Gran Canaria's most beautiful sunsets.
