This natural lookout rises above the well-known Risco Blanco, allowing a general view of the entire north of the island of Tenerife. In 1921 a group of hunters who came from the festival of Cruz de la Degollada, stopped to rest here. One of them accidentally fired his shotgun, but none of his companions was injured. In the face of such a miracle, they decided to make a cross and take it in procession from the church of Our Lady of The Immaculate Conception to La Corona, where it was set up. From that moment festivals around the feast of Saint John the Baptist began to be celebrated.
