Very few remind the sheep of La Esperanza, that in order to shepherd their animals to Anaga, they should avoid the crops of the valley of Aguere, and they had to go on one of the two mountain cords that flank it. And even less is the memory of the return they gave when to move from Gracia to the Cruz Chica, they were forbidden to cross the cereal fields of the Rodeos. This round was the one that lent name to the place.

These three itineraries - the plain of the rodeo plus the two undulating ones over the heights - intersect each other and create a peculiar ring of falls that surround the city, is La Ca ada (or Ca adas) of La Laguna. For the mayors and shepherds it constituted an exile out of the plain because of the provisions of five hundred years ago, during the foundation of the town.

We are lucky that despite the changes in the territory, especially in the last half century, the circular trace remains recognizable in its great major a.

La Cañada

- The mountains and the water courses that shaped the city. If the belt of elongated and continuous hills did not exist and we only had a flat, perhaps we will have to invent them, in order to receive their benefits: temper the climate, their hiking, landscape possibilities and the orientations of the slopes that They provide a diversity of bioclimatic environments. Likewise, the waters of the sky drag the lands of aluvi n and form the ravines and ravines like those that centuries ago deposited them in the puddle, that lagoon of water that baptized it. Because without those mountains, La Laguna is not a World Heritage Site. They also created the water courses that bordered the foundational city and adjusted its urban layout. The amphitheater of the valley of Aguere and the ravines, that is to say, the mountain and the water, have been part of the ordination of the town, beyond the pure orography.

- Mounts as-walls. A passive defense They also represent an orographic military defense - not only because they surround it but because of the steep slopes to sea level - enough that the fortification of the town based on walls would never be considered. These heights also served as beams with the choice of at least three watchtowers against pirates, from which it was linked by sight with others to cover the entire coast of Tenerife. So they were - aligned with the longitudinal axis of the Villa de Abajo - the mountains of the Watchtower and ...

La Cañada, dentro de un Plan General de Movilidad, regala elementos, o hitos atractivos, (mostrados en este esquema) que promocionarán el senderismo en el municipio de La Laguna y terminarán por contagiar a la isla entera, como la forestación que conseguirá la continuidad de los montes a lo largo de todo Tenerife. Otros elementos: la diversidad entre las laderas de barlovento y los barrancos y valles del sureste; las vistas hacia el Teide y a los mares del norte y del sur; los cultivos tradicionales de cereales y las viñas cercanas de Tegueste y Tacoronte; la formación geológica de la vega lagunera rodeada de suaves montañas; los conos volcánicos; la torrentera del barranco de Santos desde la Cruz del Carmen; la laguna que le dio nombre; la recreación de jardines, zonas de ocio y de acampada; las que fueron fuentes, atalayas de piratas y canteras.

Se representa en esquema el circuito de la histórica Cañada con la recreación de los caminos que permiten la movilidad hacia fuera del valle de Aguere. En la fundación inicial de la ciudad, no hubo separación entre lo urbano y el campo, aunque se cercaran con “albarradas” (muros de piedra seca) para defensa de los ganados. Se podía pasear junto a las tapias del circuito que limitaba a la ciudad y además, por las montañas que la rodeaban, a lo largo de una ancha cañada para trasladar los rebaños sin que atravesasen las partes llanas.
