Water brought by the trade winds when colliding with the Cardón mountain. Although they are not very abundant, they do not run out throughout the year, which has encouraged that for centuries the residents of the area have come here for water and have venerated the place for what it gave them, which consequently resulted in the installation of the Sanctuary of the Virgen del Tanquito.
