18 Nov Cuna del Alma – Puertito de Adeje becomes a site of geologic interest
After several field campaigns, the recognition and evaluation of the deposits, supported by previous studies carried out by Dávila-Harris (2009), who investigated the record of explosive volcanism associated with the Las Cañadas volcano in the areas of Adeje and Abona, have allowed us to highlight the geological relevance of the outcrops of Puertito de Adeje. These rocks form part of a broader geological group that forms the Bandas del Sur unit, whose importance in the volcanic evolution of the island is significant.

The Spanish Geological and Mining Institute (IGME) has just declared the Puertito de Adeje, in the south of Tenerife, a Site of National Geological Interest. Specifically, it is an area comprising 170,000 square metres, an area equivalent to 25 football pitches. (El Dia, 2024)
The geology of Puertito de Adeje is now part of the IGME inventory of places of geological interest (El Diario, 2024).
After several field campaigns, the Geological and Mining Institute of Spain included the ignimbrites of the area in the catalogue a few days ago, at the same time that the City Council authorized the works of the controversial tourist project Cuna del Alma (El Diario, 2024).
