Retaining and storing the little water that could be obtained, especially in these areas in the south of the island, where the humid Atlantic trade winds do not reach, was a test of ingenuity and work and became the main objective of the population groups of the Shire. The cisterns of the houses, and even the public ones, together with the water tanks are part of the water infrastructure of the island landscape. A relationship that determined the possibilities of development or impoverishment of populations, as they depended on water for subsistence and agricultural production. For this reason, the water culture in the Canary Islands provides unique elements that were the result of inventiveness and the scarce technical and material resources of the territory itself. This tank that we observed, built on a circular plan with stone walls and plastered with lime mortar on the outside, draws attention mainly for the cone shape of its cover. It has a single window and receives the water thanks to a whole network of pipes that bring this liquid of life from its source spring to the tank. Despite the low quality of the materials with which it was built, the maintenance and care of this tank has been permanent, which has allowed it to remain in good condition. Its existence gave relief to the aron-growing population until 1955, at which time the Miracle Galleries began to make water flow with greater continuity, although the storage media continued to be used.
