♂♀ Barranco del Burro

Barranco del Burro sits on the Atlantic coast near La Santa, in Las Palmas province in the Canary Islands. Access is on foot over uneven coastal ground, with no formal entrance, marked trail or visitor infrastructure. Wear closed, grippy footwear for the approach and for moving around the rocky shore. The surface is volcanic rock and stone, so a thick mat, wind-resistant towel and sturdy bag are more useful than light beach equipment. Parking is informal, with no designated car park indicated. Public transport does not reach the shore directly, so most visitors arrive by private vehicle and then walk. Allow extra time to find a safe route and a level resting place. The water is the open Atlantic. Conditions vary with wind and swell, and entry may be over rock and uneven seabed. There is no lifeguard service and swimming is unsupervised. Check the sea carefully before entering, stay in shallow water if movement looks strong, and avoid exposed ledges when waves are active. Facilities are absent. There are no toilets, showers, drinking water, food outlets or rubbish collection. Bring sufficient water, food, sun protection and a bag for all waste. Shade and shelter are very limited, and sun exposure is high. A sun umbrella or light wind shelter, hat, high-protection sunscreen and extra water are practical from May to October, the generally warmer and drier period. Winter months can be cooler and windier. Because the location is isolated, mobile help may not be close. Tell someone your plan, carry a charged phone, and keep the visit to daylight hours.
