Visit to central-east side of Gran Canaria. Tamadaba’s pine forest and dams area.
Today we did a circle trip through central mauntains area of Gran Canaria. The first stops were dedicated to physical geography. From a social geography point of view we saw an cultivated valley with oasis. In the village Tunte we saw a large number of water-accumulating tanks for collecting rain water. In Tunte there were interesting terraces for agriculture.
On our way to Artenara we stopped at the accumulation lake with a dam. The water is used for production of electric energy. The power plant has a unique system of water circulation, that produces more energy. We have discussed issues regarding water distribution on the Islands.
In Artenara we discussed historical economic and identity crises in Spain. We continued to Tamadaba pine forest, where we had a beautiful view on port of Agaete and surrounding area. On the way back to Maspalomas we had a stop in Mogan and Playa de Mogan to get an idea about the research area on which we will be focusing in the incoming days.
