Asset Overview

Roque del Malpaso near Buzanada, Arona, Tenerife. This model shows a Guanche rock art panel (c.2m across) that is surrounded by singing stones. The volcanic rock has phonic properties and rings loudly when struck with a hammerstone. There are dozens of points on different rocks that have been struck and each location gives a different sound. These stones are located at the top of a dramatic craggy outcrop some 20m high; only a small area has been 3d modelled.
