15. WATER ELEVATOR OF LA GORDEJUELA
The second choice, which starts in Castro Ravine, leads the traveler through the Water Footpath down to the Water Elevator of La Gordejuela. To enter this old factory, situated in a natural setting of a great beauty, it is necessary to turn right and begin the slope that winds up to the factory, which was the place of the first steam machine in Tenerife, set up by the Hamilton house in 1903 with the aim at bringing water to the banana plantation areas in the Orotava Valley. The water footpath does not finish in that place but it surrounds the coastline of the protected Landscape of Rambla de Castro as far as the beach of Los Roques, leaving behind the Callao de Mendez, Callao Gordo and Pejes Reyes, three of the most outstanding settings of the coastline.
16. NATURAL POOLS OF EL GUINDASTE
From the viewpoint of San Pedro stands out the Punta de Guindaste, a small border of land, which spreads out to the sea. We came to E Guindaste through the slope of el Socorro. The first turn on the right crosses over the banana plantations landscape and a small country dewing to a number of stairs which make easy the access to the sea, where the traveler finds a privileged place to enjoy the underwater and diving: the natural pools of El Guindaste.
