Bienvenido a XXXXXX, su guía cultural en Canarias. Usted se encuentra en el Mirador de la Caldera de Bandama.
A 10 kilómetros de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria se halla el más perfecto ejemplar de "caldera" existente en Canarias: la Caldera de Bandama. Se trata de una caldera de origen reciente de 1.000 metros de diámetro y 170 metros de profundidad, en cuyo fondo se sitúa una pequeña explotación agrícola.
En el Pico Bandama, al borde del cráter y con 574 metros de altitud, hay un bar y un mirador. 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.
Por su magnitud y espectacularidad, el Monumento Natural de Bandama es el complejo volcánico más interesante del ciclo volcánico reciente en Gran Canaria, surgiendo durante la época Holoceno, hace unos 5.000 años. El Pico es un cono de cínder de 574 metros de altura, con cráter en herradura abierto al Noroeste. Emitió gran cantidad de materiales, originando junto con el cercano volcán del Monte Lentiscal, contemporáneo suyo, el mayor campo de picones de la isla, utilizado desde el siglo XVIII para el cultivo de la vid.
En la cima existe una pequeña construcción, obra de los hermanos Néstor y Miguel Martín Fernández de la Torre del año 1943, desde donde se aprecia el "magnetismo de esta isla abierta al Atlántico y al universo", como reconociera el insigne artista lanzaroteño Cesar Manrique, al contemplar el marco incomparable de La Caldera de Bandama.
Esta Caldera es una enorme depresión semielíptica de unos 170 metros de profundidad, con un diámetro en sus bordes de unos 1.000 metros y un perímetro de 3 kilómetros. Su exposición a barlovento y su altitud media explican que frecuentemente se encuentre cubierta de nubes.
El nombre del cráter deriva de un comerciante holandés, Daniel Van Dame, que en el siglo XVI cosechó viñedos en el fondo del mismo, donde ahora hay una granja abandonada y los restos de unas terrazas. Esta tradición vitícola se mantiene en el entorno, como denotan los numerosos lagares existentes, algunos de ellos del siglo XVIII, cuando el cultivo de la vid se generalizó en toda la comarca.

Welcome to XXXXXX, your cultural escort in the Island of Gran Canaria. You are presently positioned at the Mirador de Bandama, view of the Caldera.
The Caldera de Bandama, which is the most perfect exemplification of a “caldera” is located at 10 kilometres from Las Palmas de Gran Canarias. The origin of this Caldera, which has a diametre of 1000 metres and a depth of 170 metres, is recent and at the bottom of it, an agricultural farm can be found.
At the Pico Bandama, there is a bar and a scenic viewpoint at the edge of the crater, which is located at 574 metres above the sea level. From this strategic point, on a volcanic massif composed of basalts and lapilli, it is possible to also catch a glimpse of a wonderful view of the four cardinal points of the island of Gran Canaria, the North and East coast as well as the mountainous center located at the West. On a clear day, you can see the neighbouring island of Fuerteventura in the northeast. Caldera and Pico composes the Natural Monument of Bandama.
Owing to its size and the visual impact, the Natural Monument of Bandama is the most recent volcanic complex in Gran Canaria which appeared during the Holocene period, approximately 5000 years ago. The Pico is a cinder cone, with 574 metres shaped as a horseshoe crater opened to the Northeast. A large quantity of material was released into the strata originating the largest area of cinder cones on the island, used since the eighteenth century for the cultivation of grapevines, and in like manner the neighbouring volcán del Monte Lentiscal ,also existent at the same time, was created.
There is a small construction at the apex which was designed by the brothers Néstor and Miguel Martín Fernández de la Torre in 1943, from this spot, the “magnetism of the island uncloses to the Atlantic and the universe”, in the words of the well known artist and native of Lanzarote, Cesar Manrique while he contemplated the unmatched scenario of La Caldera de Bandama.
This Caldera is a huge semi-elliptic depression with an estimated depth of 170 metres, a diametre of circa 1000 metre at the edges and a perimetre of 3 kilometres. Its windward exposure united with its average height provides an accurate explanation as to why there is always a clouded roof.
The name of the crater was given as an homage to the Dutch businessman, Daniel Van Dame, who harvested vineyards at its underside during the XVI century, where at present, there is an abandoned farmhouse and vestiges of some terraces. The vineyard tradition is still present in the environment as evidenced from the already existent wineries, some of which ages from the eighteenth century, a period of an extensive cultivation of wine across the region.
