Good View from North

The Palmar Mountain, also known as the mountain of Zahorra, is a majestic natural wonder located in the heart of the Palmar Valley in Buenavista del Norte.

This beautiful valley was formed thousands of years ago when an old ravine was blocked by lava flows from the Palmar Mountain.

The volcanic materials were transported by ravines and were located higher, originating the current valley.

Today, it is one of the most fertile areas of the municipality, especially from an agricultural point of view.

However, between the 60s and 80s, this stunning volcano was utilized as a picón quarry, highlighting its versatility and usefulness even beyond its natural beauty.

As a visitor or resident in the area, exploring the Palmar Mountain is undoubtedly an experience that should not be missed.
