Roque Nublo (Clouded Rock, Rock in the Clouds) is a volcanic rock on the island of Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, Spain. It is 80 m (262 ft) tall, and its top is 1,813 m (5,948 ft) above sea level.[1] The Roque Nublo is the third highest point on the island of Gran Canaria, after the Morro de la Agujereada at 1,956 meters,[2] and the Pico de las Nieves at 1,949 meters.
It was formed by a volcanic eruption around 4.5 million years ago.[citation needed]
