Spain Barranco de las Vacas, Gran Canaria
This spot is about a wonderful carved and curved rock formation, shaped by water. It reminded me (a little) of the slot canyon "Antelope Canyon" in the USA, but much smaller.
Photography Tips
A wide-angle lens is useful, and maybe a tripod because of the lack of light. The contrasts can be large, so bracketing multiple shots and combining them as an HDR image is also a good option.
It can be busy because it is a popular Instagram photo spot. Just be patient, or arrive early on the day.

Travel Information
Parking is difficult, find a spot just off the side of the road.
Climb over the crash barrier just before the bend, then walk down under the bridge towards the photo spot.
