The natural pools of Agaete popularly known by the name of “Las Salinas” are formed by three natural volcanic pools connected by submarine tunnels. They are protected from the waves especially at low tide and allow to observe some of the marine fauna of the area that enters the pools during the full tide.
It is a quiet place to spend the day, ideal for families with children as it allows the little ones to swim and have fun. They are easily accessible by walking from the Puerto de las Nieves but also have a direct access by the car.
Summer temperatures range from 26ºC to 28ºC, although they sometimes reach 30ºC. In winter, daytime temperatures range from 16ºC to 24ºC. The water temperature in summer is close to 23ºC and 19ºC in winter.

6 months agoVery nice free natural salt water pools next to the sea. There is free roadside parking leading to the pools, but the road does get a little rough. There are free bathrooms located next to it.

10 months agoA hidden gem from tourists. If you can travel there, don't hesitate. Road is a gravel path off a roundabout, ample parking down the gravel path. Scenes are fantastic. Great vibe. Swimming was obviously the best part. They also have toilets to change in if needed.

8 months agoCoast, sea and cliffs are really wonderful. Pools attract a lot of tourists, and water is not clear. Toilets available. Possible to let the car in a street before arriving at the pools, and continue by feet. Free entry. Not the best in my opinion. Prefer charco San Lorenzo some kilometers before agaete.

7 months agoThis place is so beautiful! It can get a bit crowded on the weekends but it did not bother me/us. It was very refreshing to swim in there. There’s a little kiosks where you can buy some beverages. I did not spot showers :)

a year agoThree wonderful natural pools sheltered from the open sea resemble a castle due to their special concrete tanks decorated like fortress battlements, which further weaken the wave attacks. Connected by volcanic tunnels, these ponds have everything to enjoy relaxing family swims and stunning views of the cliffs of the northwest coast.
