Australia's got Ayer's Rock, Ireland — the Blarney Stone, and Gran Canaria has Roque Nublo. The Cloud Rock seems a little bit of an odd name. Usually, you can see for miles and miles from this famous vantage point. Walk there from La Goleta parking lot, located on the Ayacata-Pozo de las Nieves road.

This noble Baroque building dates from the second half of the 17th century. The facade has a large doorway framed between two Tuscan Order pilasters of fluted shaft and sober entablature. Both the entrance and the coats of arms are carved in pink marbled stone. The different spaces and chambers are organized around a main courtyard with upper gallery; at ground level we find a first body of arches resting on Tuscan marble columns, the upper level is a gallery of rectangular balconies. There is also an additional yard, simpler, with a gallery of arches at ground level on one side and on the upper level of the other side a landscape-observation gallery crowned by cubical body battlements with pyramidal tops. The structure's load-bearing walls are made of rammed earth and slab with fully treated and restored wooden beams for its floors and ceilings.
