The area where the wells are located is located on the summits of Arafo, in the upper parts of the island and more specifically, the outer slope of the Caides of Teide. In Arafo the first two wells were built in 1750. Eight wells were located at the bottom of the Caldera de Pedro Gil, in the plain of 'Las Arenas ', the rest were at the summits of Arafo, at the top of the Central mountain range of the island u037E Two wells were in 'Guate me to ', another in 'La bold ', two in 'La Crack ' and another in 'Acasme '. Snow was exploding in Tenerife since the mid-18th century. It was used for both consumption and commerce. Snow was used to preserve food, to make cold drinks and even ice cream. The Snow wells were another extractive activity of the natural resources of Las Ca adas was the one carried out by the so-called neveros. The obtaining of snow was often combined with the collection of sulfur and also served to compensate for the scarce economic means of the poor peasantry of the regions ... |

THE SNOW TREATMENT. The exploitation of public mountain resources was an important source. In addition, the mountains have been a complement to where to detract resources from the less favored classes within a subsistence economy. The exploitation of snow wells will therefore be a resource more associated with the exploitation of public mountain resources. THE CONSTRUCTION OF SNOW WELLS. As the surface snow and the natural cracks disappear rapidly, the wells were built in order to guarantee supplies to the populations. The snow stored in the wells lasted longer than the rest, except for that of the ice cave that lasted all year, although the problem of the latter was the difficulty to extract it and its transport was more complicated by the altitude to which is the cave and the winding path to reach. Therefore the best solution was the wells. THE FILLING OF WELLS. Before the first snows fell, usually towards the end of December, the wells had to be conditioned, repaired and provided with everything necessary for the conservation of snow. It is in areas of the summit and from the nearby pine forests, where the hauling of the pinillo used in the capping process takes place. The wells being clean and conditioned, waiting for the first snowfall, that would allow them to be filled. |
