Description
The caravan, motorhome, and camper vehicle area of El Lagar is situated at just over 1000 metres above sea level, located on the northwestern slope of the island.
The surroundings consist of a pine forest mixed with fayas, heather, and holly, which are characteristic species of the laurel forest.
In the area, several remnants can be observed, indicating the intensive use this zone endured in the past. An example of this is the large pines bearing marks on their trunks from previous exploitation, such as the harvesting of tar.
The road access includes travelling along a dirt forest track for approximately 9 kilometres.
It offers marked routes from which to start or end your excursions on bicycle, horseback, or by motor vehicle.
Adjacent to the camping area is the recreational area of the same name, whose services and facilities can be used during your stay
Tips
- Enjoy the local flora and fauna without disturbing them, always with curiosity, distance, and respect.
- Follow the posted rules and signs to ensure harmony with both people and animals.
- Keep the environment clean by avoiding littering or discarding cigarette butts outside of the designated bins.
- Travel in small groups to minimise noise pollution and the environmental impact.
- Use the water from the toilets and fountains responsibly. It is a scarce and precious resource on our island.
