It is considered a point of geological interest, because of the Caldera de Bandama.
It is recorded as the most recent volcanic activity on Gran Canaria.
[2] The bottom of the caldera contains volcanic ash of different colors, and some botanic species of Canary Islands origin.
An endemic bush can be found inside the caldera that doesn't grow anywhere else; Dama de Bandama[3] (Parolinia glabriuscula).
The Caldera de Bandama is located at the meeting point of three municipalities: Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Santa Brígida and Telde.
