la burrera

★★★★☆ (72)

La Burrera is deservedly famous for being one of the best dive spots in the Canaries. This place is spectacular because of it’s labyrinthine landscape, with big rocks, arches, columns, crevices, all of which shelters abundant fauna and flora.

It is one of the few sites on the archipelago where algal forests still stand without being devoured by the Diadema urchin.
