View from the vicinity of Los Laureles across the upper reaches of the Barranco del Bufadero in SW direction to Roque la Fortaleza (left side) and Cabezo del Viento (right side, 850 m). The vegetation patterns, with laurel forests covering part of the upper slopes, reveal the typical weather conditions where humid air approaching from NE direction is forced to rise when reaching the mountains, with the result of cloud formation near the main ridge, which is therefore often shrouded in fog.
