Área recreativa, Monte Pavón

High on the northwestern ridge of Gran Canaria, at around 1,200 metres, this recreation area sits in young replanted pinewood, between grazing land and steep damp ravines that still hold the last patches of laurel forest. It makes a practical starting point for the S-01 trail, thirteen kilometres linking Cruz de Tejeda with Pinos de Gáldar and Saucillo. No advance booking is needed to use it.
