The Dragon’s Tail is a stunning geological formation located in the west coast of Gran Canaria, in the municipality of Agaete. It is an impressive cliff formation that stretches out into the Atlantic Ocean, resembling the tail of a dragon. This natural monument is one of the most unique and emblematic landmarks of the island.
The Dragon’s Tail is the result of volcanic activity that took place millions of years ago. The volcanic rock formations that make up the cliff were shaped by the wind and sea, creating a series of rugged ridges and deep ravines that give the formation its distinct appearance.
To fully appreciate the Dragon’s Tail, visitors can take a scenic hike along the coast, it can be seen from different points of the coast such as Puerto de las Nieves and it is a true spectacle of nature. Although there is no specific place to visit it, some people do it from the Balcón viewpoint in La Aldea de San Nicolás.
Overall, the Dragon’s Tail is a must-see attraction for anyone visiting Agaete,

in the last weekVery nice. Excellent road to arrive to this "end of the world". View is great. There is a small parkplace to stop, about 7-8 cars. The road ends some kilometers after this stop. Free entry

a week agoGREAT PLACE TO GO FOR A DAY even though its a long drive 100% worth it with these lovely rocks on the side of the road in the last picture would recommend going with a bus / touring company if not a skilled driver as lots of the roads are windy and very sharp corners and if you fall your not making it back up but once there stunning place and enjoyed it as a day out!

2 weeks agoA viewing point I have visit 30 years ago. Back then it was only a stone/concrete balcony. Now a days it’s a challenging (if you have fear of heights) glass surrounded balcony. The view is still magnificent. The cliffs and pointy mountains (with some imagination it looks like a dragons tail) are impressive and on clear days you can see Tenerife and its volcano El Teide.

2 months agoGreat place to watch the sun set, although the road GC200 is not for everyone and you'll be going back after sunset.
