¿Do you know it?
We start this path at the Juan Évora Ethnographic Museum,
in Boca Tauce, and walking along the volcanic earth of the
former Tiro del Guanche path, we will reach a vast plain called
Llano del Negro. Along the way we will be spoiled with spectacular
panoramic views of the Isora Mountains, as well as
views of the islands of La Gomera, La Palma and El Hierro.
As we continue down the path, we will observe how the pine
forest becomes less dense and we start to fi nd species such
as tagasaste and sticky broom (codesos). As we approach the
hamlet of Las Fuentes, we pass the Casa de los Poleos, which
stands beside a series of aboriginal engravings with geometric
patterns. From this point on, the path has the characteristics of
a former bridle path, wider, and with higher walls on the sides.
Further on, the path divides into two paths which will lead us
to the hamlet of Las Fuentes. This small rural settlement has
been deserted since the 1970s, but recently it has recovered
part of its agricultural activity, mainly through the cultivation of
vines and potatoes.
This path can be followed in both directions; leaving from the
car park of the Juan Évora Ethnographic Museum or from the
hamlet of Las Fuentes.
