La Raja in Las Salinas of Arucas.

This place its in Arucas a borough that belongs to Las Palmas. It located in the north part of Gran Canaria . The Salinas (salt mines) it is a place of bath between steep cliffs on the coast of Arucas. Placed in a virgin zone, at the foot of an old salt mine, to come to this place you have to walk some distance. Its isolation has led to its conversion into a nudist area. Has about 210 meters long and 30 wide and it has a very bad tide, but has some natural pools where swimming is safe.

But if you want to swimm in a secret place where there is less people I recommend you "La Raja" (that´s how we call it, it not an official name) its near the old Salt mines of Arucas when you get there you will see a house and the salt mines in front, if you go five steps into the sea you will see it. You must extreme caution in the area because the tide is very bad, you should only swimm in this place if the tide is low. 




You will feel the pleasant sense of freedom and peace.
Hope you enjoy it, i´m sure you will love it!
