An interesting detail of the history of this area is the oil production. From 1956 to 1993, a total of 856,000 t of crude oil were extracted from a depth of around 1,700 m. That last pump is a reminder of that phase and why the road is called the Oil Road.

The oil pump on the oil road is a reminder of the extraction of this raw material.
