LOS TILOS GRAN CANARIA

The name refers to the surviving one per cent of Gran Canaria's original and ancient Iaurel forest, still holding on here under rigorous protection. You may survey it from the very narrow road that runs through it but you are not allowed to wander in it. This is a tiny nature reserve, only about 200m long, made up of dense evergreen and varied species climbing up almost vertical banks from the stream bed.
