The hybrons or jibbons came down this way
The Canarian term hibrón or jibrón refers to the timbers placed parallel to the pairs of a roof frame to receive the planking.
However, on the islands of El Hierro and Tenerife, by extension, it refers to any kind of timber.
This nucleus and road probably get their name from the transit of wood from the pine forests of the high midlands, destined for construction. Pine wood has been widely used in the construction of ships due to its water-resistant characteristics.
In the surroundings of Los Hibrones there are many vestiges of an important agricultural past: the large threshing floor next to the road, the fountain and the washhouse, the fruit pastures and ovens, and even a tile oven. All of this next to numerous cultivation terraces that are still in production, surrounded by the pine forest that characterised the area.
