Old Water Storage for Human and Livestock Consumption
La Mareta, Teguise
The Mareta de la Villa has its origins in the aboriginal period. It was a structure used to store water from the scarce rains, aiming to guarantee its availability and the survival of the town. Each year, the Cabildo decided whether the water was for the residents' use or for the animals, and also appointed a guard or maretero to oversee its proper use.
