Text from the Canary Islands
Doramas, se refugió durante la contienda con los invasores castellanos. Se ha especulado mucho en torno al lugar exacto de esta ubicación (hoy se conserva entre Moya y Firgas el topónimo “Montaña de Doramas”, en el marco del Parque Rural del mismo nombre). Pero lo cierto es que la tipología paisajística es la misma que encontramos en Barranco Hondo, límite de transición entre laurisilva y pinar de camino hacia los espacios cumbreros sagrados, últimos bastiones defensivos de los canarios.
The edge of the transition area between the laurel and pine groves ....? Looking for a nice way to word this please.

transition area

You could say "the transition area where the laurel and pine forests meet/merge with..."
