 - The communities of Taibique and Las Casas, lying at the southern limit of the great pine forests, are known jointly as "EI Pinar". The people live from farming.
- From the Tanajara viewpoint there is a good view of the village and the whole southern area of the island. At the foot of the hill, there is a pottery for you to visit and Panchillo's private museum. In the village there are several handicraft workshops: woodcarving, basketry and weaving.
- Las Playas viewpoint is situated a little to the north of Las Casas and if the sky is clear, being at almost 1000 metres, it offers an impressive view over the whole bay.
- The El Morcillo recreational area is right in the heart of the pine forest and has facilities for cooking over open fires (wood is provided), drinking water, rustic benches sod tables, toilets, a children's play area and a football field.
- To the south of El Pinar, in the area known as Mar de las Calmas, lies the cove of Tacorón. Here too there are picnic facilities, and its crystal-clear waters beckon you in for a swim at any time of year. Please do not forget that both here, and in all other parts of the island, spear-fishing is absolutely forbidden.
- The little fishing village of La Restinga is located at the far southern end of the island and is home to the island's fishing fleet. It has an enormous breakwater which protects the harbour and the village from the tremendous storms which Nature at times unleashes in this pan of the world. There are several restaurants where you can try fresh-caught local fish.
Its two diving centres are open all year round.
- The cave of Don Justo is worth a visit. Its marvellous formations attract scientists as much as amateur cavers. |
