Las Raíces, Historic site in El Rosario, Spain.
Las Raíces stands within the Protected Landscape of Las Lagunetas, featuring a forest of eucalyptus trees and Canary Island pines at an elevation of 1000 meters.
The site gained prominence on June 17, 1936, when General Franco met with military commanders to discuss plans for the upcoming military uprising in the Canary Islands.
The location represents a significant chapter in Spanish heritage, leading to its designation as a Cultural Property of Interest within the municipality of El Rosario.
Visitors can access basic facilities including restrooms while exploring the natural surroundings and historical elements of the protected landscape area.
Photographer Adalberto Benítez captured the historic military meeting through images that later became important documentation of the period's events.
