The rock formation at the Port of Las Nieves, in Agaete lost its pinnacle in 2005, yet it still preserves the beauty of nature’s great works of art.
In Agaete it was always called the Roque Partido (‘Broken Rock’). Dedo de Dios (‘God’s Finger’) was the name given to it by Domingo Doreste, also known as Fray Lesco, the same man who spoke of Gran Canaria as a continent in miniature. This rock formation truly has something divine about it, it always has. We felt it twenty-five years ago, before tropical storm Delta brought down its upper pinnacle, and we still feel it now, in the shapes being created by the erosion of wind and ocean.
