	Roque de los Muchachos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Roque de los Muchachos translates into English as The Rock Of The Boys, and is the name given to the rocky mound at the highest point on the island of La Palma in the Canary Islands of Spain.
		The rocks are found at an elevation of 2,426m above sea level, not far from the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos, where some of the world's largest telescopes are situated; the altitude and the dryness of the climate here give rise to excellent observing conditions.
		The rocks are contained with the Parque Nacional de la Caldera de Taburiente.
