Hiking
At the northern end of the Bay of Ajuy, there is a cliff whose upper layer is made of shell limestone. This cliff was once gradually eroded by human hands. Due to the presence of shell limestone, two lime kilns were dug into the rock. The shell limestone was shoveled into these kilns, one layer of shell limestone and one layer of coal. The required coal was landed by British ships. The finished product, the quicklime obtained, was shipped profitably to Great Britain.

The lime from Ajuy is the oldest sediment in the Canary Islands. He is 120 million years old.
