El Dedo de Dios — God's Finger — is a 30-metre sea stack rising out of the Atlantic just off the northern coast of Gran Canaria. For most of its modern history it appeared on postcards, stamps, and tourist literature as the symbol of the northwest coast, a slender finger of volcanic basalt pointing skyward. In 2005 a hurricane removed the top portion, and the remaining stump, while still distinctive, is a pale shadow of the original.
The stack is best viewed from the rocks at Puerto de las Nieves, just a short walk from the harbour. It remains a compulsory photograph for anyone visiting the area, and the contrast between the modern harbour facilities and this ancient lump of geology is part of the visual interest.
