Mountain biking
In this damp and silent corner of the Garajonay forest, amidst moss, fog, and gigantic trees, a curious local tradition seems to have developed: hugging ancient tree trunks for several minutes while contemplating the existential void, the sound of the forest, or simply nothing. The most surprising thing is that, after doing so, people come out quite happy. Seeing the tranquility this place conveys, it's hard to judge them. However, an important warning: leaning your electric bike against the trees does not recharge the battery at all. Confirmed. This system apparently only works with humans.
