This circular path takes us into the high midlands of the municipality to learn about the history of the exploitation of the pine forests of the south. The need for pitch to caulk ships on their voyage to America led to the proliferation of kilns that distilled it from the wood of the Canary Island pine. Faced with the incipient deforestation and competition with other uses, the Cabildo regulated and limited this activity from the first decades of the 16th century. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the pine forest, fuel was obtained to feed the sugar mills, wood for construction, firewood for home fires and pine needles for animals and agriculture.  The exploitation of the forest by the villagers was a subsistence activity that lasted until the eighties of the 20th century. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The route heads west along the Camino Real del Sur to the area of El Tejal. From there it turns off to the right and climbs towards La Higuera. It continues along the steep Los Hibrones track to La Abejera and continues in an easterly direction until it reaches the Tames mountain and the Pino del Guirre. From there it starts the descent towards Casa el Seco and returns to Las Vegas parallel to the PR-TF 83.2. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t
