Afloramiento en la carretera FV-2
The outcrop is located next to the road FV-2, which connects the town of La Lajita with Morro Jable just outside the town and exactly at kilometer 59.
This outcrop shows the superposition of a level of basalts on a level of pyroclastics.
In the cavities of the basalt level, close contact with the pyroclastic level is observed in the crystallization of quartz in the form of very characteristic radiating aggregates.
There are other similar sites in nearby areas.
