    Hiking

    Where the valley narrows into a ravine, a reservoir (Presa del las Peñitas) was created in the 1940s to improve the supply of water to the island. Today he is silted up.

    Hiking

    In order to cultivate potatoes and vegetables all year long, the Reserva de Las Penitas reservoir was created in 1942. However, irrigation proved useless due to a source of salt water. Today, numerous species of birds use the almost overgrown water surface.
