In Las Vegas there are many trees with a personality of their own
The Guirre pine is an example of the close relationship between rural dwellers and their trees
Trees have always accompanied human beings and there are many contributions offered by these living, complex and beautiful beings. In Las Vegas many of these relationships have been immortalised in the names given to these wonders of nature by its people: Pino Campanero, Pino del Rayo, Pino del Guirre, Pino El Tame, Pino Alto, Pino Gordo or Pino del Haba.
This close bond ranges from primary needs to coexistence between people. Examples are the cutting of wood to build a house or for cooking, the description of the tree that provides shade at work or the tree that is the boundary between properties.
Other names refer to its physical virtues: the reminder of a stormy night, the place where food is planted, the place where a bird perches or, of course, the tree that serves as a bell tower for festive and religious events.
