This
area is lobe-shaped and linked to the Arucas ravine on the right-hand
margin just after Las Vegas. It is named after one of the first colonial
inhabitants, Juan de Ariñez, who bought properties and sugar-making
devices in Arucas after the end of the conquest. Although a great deal
of housing and a school has been built recently on the edges of the depression,
it continues to house good banana plantations, market gardens and livestock
stables. There are a large number of Canary Island palms and cane fields,
next to the “masapé” swamps, of considerable ornithological
importance because it is used a resting and drinking place by both local
and migrating birds. Some section of a brick aqueduct remain in the vicinity
of the depression. |
