Description
Área recreativa Pinar de Chío is a picnic area located in Parque Natural Corona Forestal. It is surrounded by pine forest and lava rocks. Several hiking trails start here or pass through this place. The picnic area is a good place to observe Blue Chaffinch, which sometimes just drop to the ground in front of you. That is if you are lucky, as they can be hard to find from time to time. Pinar de Chío is also a good area for the local subspecies of Great Spotted Woodpecker. And you have a good chance on Berthelot's Pipit, Common Raven, Common Chaffinch and African Blue Tit.
