From the Mirador de La Atalaya, in the centre of Artenara, the hamlets of Las Cuevas, Caidero and Chajunco come into view. A careful look at these districts is enough to work out that this is a cave dwelling village, where most of the residents live in modern caves that are cool in summer and warm in winter. The village also sits in the middle of the pine woods of inland Gran Canaria.
