Description:
This way joins the National Inn of Tejeda's cross with Teror's villa. It(he,she) passes on rocks of the second one and tercer cycle and avoids, in continuous descent of moderate slope, soft rounded loins and ravines fitted as a result of the interaction, during the last five million years, of the constructive activity of the lava and the power erosivo of the water.
The direct exhibition produces a high environmental dampness, almost permanent fogs and high rainfalls to the trade one, with intense sensation of cold. They are the most rainy places of the Island, over 1.000 mm. Of annual average in the high part. The rest of the places that crosses the way reaches more than 600 mm., and in the cold winters it(he,she) falls down it snows over all 1.400 meters, from the Summit up to Cave Cork. In summer the temperatures are moderated, and the sky is frequently covered(overcast). In synthesis, it is an ideal route to observe the effects of the trade winds, since one thinks in the band altitudinal of contact of the sea of clouds, that it(he,she) develops between(among) the 800 and all 1.500 meters of altitude.
The human activity has transformed the natural vegetation. The original pinegrove of the high places has been replaced by another young man, of repopulation, which descends up to all 1.300 meters of altitude. The primitive(original) laurisilva was supplanted by the cultures(culturing), between(among) which a bushes of brooms grow, escobones and other species(kinds), and copies(specimens) isolated of laurels and heathers in the hillsides and bottoms(funds) of the ravines.
The valleys were cultivated of intensive way from the immediate years to the conquest, in which populations established in Teror and Valleseco, reserving the high part for the shepherding. From the decade of the sixties, the rural landscape yielded some of the former zones of culture(culturing) of the valleys to the urban growth, while in the summits the pastures were moving back before the pinegroves of repopulation.
Teror, religious traditional nucleus that shelters the Mistress of the Island, The Virgin of the Pine, it(he,she) is converted, some days a year, exactly of meeting of the wayfarers who come to the villa in pilgrimage for the numerous paths that communicate her(it) with the rest of the peoples(villages). The villa exercises loudly(strong) attraction on the tourism and the local visitors, who do of her(it) boisterous place, specially every Saturday and Sundays, in which it(he,she) takes place the "market". Actually(indeed), Teror always had great commercial relevancy, for the confluence of infinity of ways. To go to Las Palmas of Great Canary, for example, the people of Artenara, Tejeda and The Village had to happen(pass) for the Marian villa. The way that occupies us had great economic importance; There were used to interchange traditionally products of the summit (fuelwood, coal, cereals, vegetables and almonds) and worn manufactures of the capital, which did of Teror the neuralgic center of the economy of the mediocrities grancanarias.
