The Jurado Ravine is formed by basaltic materials that, after erosion, give rise to almost vertical walls that can reach up to 620 meters in altitude. It is characteristic of the place, the breakwater with holes on the left side, a product of erosive landslides, under which passed an ancient royal road that gave its name to the place name “Jorado" or "Jurado". The steep escarpments of the ravine are home to populations of birds such as the red-billed chough (Pyrrhocorax pyrrhocorax), Bolle's pigeon (Columba bollii), laurel pigeons (Columba junoniae), common kestrel (Falco tinnunculus), along with interesting protected species such as the mastic tree (Pistacia atlantica), among others.

The San Antonio volcano lookout point is located in the south of La Palma, in the area known as Cumbre Vieja, in Fuencaliente, at an altitude of 633 meters above sea level. The San Antonio volcano lookout point has a visitor center. The lookout point is located on a trail above a volcano that erupted in 1677. From there you can see another, much more recent one (the Teneguía, which awoke in 1971). One of the two malvasia grape-growing areas on the island is located on the lava flows of the first one. While during the day this lookout point offers spectacular views of the crater and the slopes of the volcano, at night it becomes a real window to the universe.
