La Sorrueda, in the Tirajana ravine, very close to Santa Lucía, the first sport climbing area in the south of Gran Canaria, and together with Fatagonia, in the neighboring Fataga ravine, close to the hamlet of the same name, the ones that receive the most visitors. . Of more recent discovery are the southern ravines of Berriel or Ayagaures with the same quality of rock and the benign southern climate that allows climbing throughout the year.

• In the northwest, at an altitude of more than 1000 m above the sea, is Tamadaba, an ancient mountain massif covered with pine forest that is cut into vertical walls. In its upper flows are the areas of Lomo Caraballo, Supernova, Perfumería or El Gulich with its famous Emiliano Zapata route, which made this area the capital of sport climbing in Gran Canaria.
