Help improve Atlas Obscura by expanding The Tidal Waterspout of Los Cancajos with additional information or photos.

Journeying downhill along Calle la Corvina, far from the main cafes of Los Cancajos, you may hear the sound of a waterspout at high tide. This tidal spout can shoot well over 16 feet( five meters) into the air, offering amazing photographic opportunities. The spout is at one end of a promenade, which offers a beautiful walk along the coast. 

Know Before You Go

Head downhill along Calle la Corvina until you come to the end of the road, then venture slightly to the right/south. Go at high tide for maximal effect. Please practice caution while visiting the site.
