Spanish term or phrase: sobre un macizo volcánico de basaltos y picón
Desde este enclave estratégico situado sobre un macizo volcánico de basaltos y picón, se divisa una maravillosa panorámica de los cuatro puntos cardinales de la isla de Gran Canaria, su costa norte y este, y su centro montañoso al oeste. En un día claro se puede ver, al noreste, la vecina isla de Fuerteventura. La Caldera y el Pico forman el Monumento Natural de Bandama.

Thanks for suggestions!
