Radio Sintonia:
The Cabildo of Fuerteventura is studying the possibility of acquiring the Pico de la Zarza.
"It is extremely important that the community of Fuerteventura knows that the Pico de la Zarza belongs to private individuals, not to the public." This was recalled this morning, through the microphones of Radio Sintonía, by the Minister of Environment of the Cabildo of Fuerteventura, Carlos Rodríguez. However, he has advanced the intention of the Cabildo to acquire the environment, a possibility that would be studied.
In addition, he has reported that the Island Council has reached an agreement with the owners to replace the fencing of the space with the intention of making it stronger and more durable. The minister has denounced the breakages of the current fences and gates, as well as meteorological measurement material, which, he said, "damages the illusions of improving these environments".
At 807 metres above sea level, the Pico de la Zarza is the highest point in Fuerteventura and its summit is an excellent viewpoint towards the coasts of Cofete and the surrounding mountains, within the Jandía Natural Park.
In addition, according to the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food in its list of natural paths, it is one of the areas with the highest concentration of endemic species in Fuerteventura. In this place and its surroundings, you can find abundant endemic rock species, some exclusive to this area, such as the Jandía magarza (Argyranthemum winteri) or the Jandía tajinaste (Echium handiense). Likewise, the rocky cliffs of this area serve as a refuge for two species, a scavenger and a seriously threatened raptor, the guirre (Neophron percnopterus majorensis) and the tagarote falcon (Falco pelegrinoides).
