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.

It's bone dry in front of the dam wall... behind it, in a couple of natural stone pools, there's cloudy pool broth... the goats have had enough
