Name(s) in local language(s):
Afloramiento de la Avenida de Francia, Torviscas Alto, Adeje
Outcrop located on the top of the tourist resort of Torviscas Alto, in the municipality of Adeje, on the south coast of Tenerife.
It is in an area of fragmented lavas where by hydrothermal processes have been deposited zeolites and carbonates covering the rock fragments.
This site may be linked genetically to the processes forming the volcanic edifice of "La Caldera del Rey" which is located right next door and is a wonderful example of a phreatomagmatic eruption with formation of a double cone volcanic type Maar.
