The Mina ravine originates from San Mateo and crosses the island northeastward and flows into the capital of Gran Canaria, although in this last stretch it is buried under the asphalt of a highway that also caused the disappearance of the iconic Puentes de Piedra and Puente de Palo bridges that connected the neighborhoods of Vegueta and Triana.
La Mina has a small flow of water thanks to the transfer that has been taking place for centuries from the Tejeda basin to the Guiniguada basin through a gallery that crosses the mountain, hence the name La Mina.
The ravine offers an interesting opportunity for outdoor activities such as hiking, canyoning, etc. Also noteworthy in this area is the entire area corresponding to the Las Cumbres Protected Landscape. We should also mention the royal roads that pass through the municipality. In general, the entire mountainous area of the municipality is of great scenic beauty, receiving a large number of visitors during the weekend.
