Soo

This is a small rural village situated on the edge of the El Jable plain, between the surfing capitals of La Santa and La Caleta de Famara. Soo is a traditional village where life continues much as it has for many years. Small scale farming and goat herding are the main local occupations in this, one of the first villages on the island. Four local ?Tiendas? (small supermarkets) can more than cater for your daily needs, although there are larger supermarkets in nearby La Santa and Tinajo. Characterized by flat dunes of fine sand, which – due to constant northerly trade winds – are continuously moving, this low plain is well-known to bird-watchers, as desert species, such as Trumpeter Finch, Houbara Bustard, Stone Curlew and Cream-Coloured Courser, just to name a few, can be best observed here.

The area around Sóo, which for its whitewashed, low houses has a distinct desert village aspect, is cultivated with vegetables, pumpkins and watermelons. In some spots still thrives the Hottentot fig flower, with which this plain was overgrown in former times.
