Iglesia de San José

It was built between 1850 and 1860. Located in the centre of Barranco Hondo, it houses images of St. Joseph, St. Sebastian and Our Lady of Los Dolores, among others, whose images are honoured during festivities in their names. Local route SL-TF 299 Lomo El Centeno starts from this square, from which the protected landscape of Las Lagunetas can be reached. Here you can find some pine trees covered in resin and the “Madre del Agua” spring, which was traditionally used by the inhabitants of Barranco Hondo as well as by some other villages of the north of the island. Next to it, you will find the Madre del Agua water gallery, which has been closed up but from which you can still get trickles of drinking water.
