The millenary tree that symbolizes the city, the tree is not actually a thousand years old but estimated to be more likely 600-800 years. With a height of 18m and a trunk diameter of about 10m, it is the largest and oldest known drago tree of its species in the world. In 2000 a botanic garden was developed around the tree to protect it from pollution and vandalism; the garden has a number of specimens of typical Canarian flora. The park entrance. is around the corner on C/ del Barranco. Travellers who wish to avoid the admission fee can admire the tree from the nearby C/ Arcipreste Osuna. which overlooks the garden.
