History.

Three temples were built here in 1883, San Luis, in El Calvario, San Bartolomé, in La Corujera ; and San Clemente, in Malpaís.

Its population is much dispersed and is one that has grown the most in recent decades. Several urbanizations have been established as well as residential areas such as La Quinta and La Quinta Roja.

It was in this municipality that in the twenties, banana plantations began to be developed by the establishment of the Fyffes House and the opening of galleries that supply the necessary water for its cultivation.
