The transition zone to the laurel forest, which can be found from about 300 meters above sea level, has more trees than the immediate coastal zone. Among other things, wax myrtle, the first representative of the Barbusanos (Apollonias barbujana) and the Canary Willow (Salix canariensis) can be found here.

25 Fontes (25 Springs) Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

A beautiful natural spectacle that you don't see often. The 25 Fontes are certainly worth a visit. However, you share the joy with many other hikers.
