The Parque rural Castillo de Lara is located in the Barranco de los Charcos. A "charco" is a backwater, a very small one, as it can also mean "puddle". A riverbed can be seen to the south of the valley. In it lie the countless "charcos" that hold back rainwater and distribute it to the surrounding Gavias. When it rains on Fuerteventura, it rains heavily. The trick is to keep the water on the island and not let it flow unused into the Atlantic.
