This is a privileged place, from where we can contemplate the entire Orotava Valley and part of the island’s north. The monumental statute of Mencey Bentor, located in the place from which the Mencey fell, at the beginning of 1496, as a result of the last events that occurred before the conquest of the island, is another of this place’s attractions. In the hamlet of El Lance there was the custom of sounding the “bucio” (a seashell), every time that it became known that an unmarried woman had become pregnant.
