Los Llanos de Aridane is one of the 14 communities on the Canary Island of La Palma, which belongs to Spain , and is located on the west side of the island in the middle of the Aridanetal .
The administrative center of the municipality is located in the town of the same name, Los Llanos de Aridane (known as such since 1899), the center of which lies at an altitude of 325 meters above sea level.
history
Los Llanos de Aridane was founded in August 1812 and together with El Paso , Tazacorte and Argual formed the community of the same name. On April 13, 1837, the Canarian Government proposed to merge El Paso with Tacande and the surrounding area to form a municipality with its own town hall, independent of Los Llanos. A few months later the project was realized and Los Llanos lost a considerable part of its size. On September 16, 1925, during the rule of Primo de Rivera, Tazacorte was also excluded from Los Llanos. At that time, Tazacorte was with 2316 inhabitants the most populous part of the municipality with the greatest economic growth.
The municipality of Los Llanos de Aridane has developed over the years to become the most populous on the island and thus surpassed the municipality of Santa Cruz de La Palma with the island capital of the same name in the 1990s .
Puerto Naos , part of the municipality of Los Llanos , is one of the two tourist centers of La Palma , along with Los Cancajos in the municipality of Breña Baja . Today Los Llanos de Aridane is the most important economic center in the west of the island.
character
The character of Los Llanos is shaped by the Plaza de España in the center of the village with the three-aisled parish church Nuestra Señora de Los Remedios from the 16th century, partly in the Mudéjar style, the town hall ( Ayuntamiento ) built in 1945 in the regional style and the adjacent ones Streets like the pedestrian street of Calle Réal (formerly Calle del General Franco ). Several mighty Chinese figs in Plaza de España and Avenida Dr. Flamingos were brought with them by Cuban emigrants in 1863 and provide shade for the street cafes on the square, which locals and tourists like to visit.
In the west of Los Llanos the district of Argual borders. In the area of the village square of Argual ( Plaza Sotomayor ) the Spanish conquerors built their first settlement at the end of the 15th century. With the sugar cane cultivation , the resident noble families acquired an immense fortune in the 16th and 17th centuries. Most of their manor houses are still preserved on the village square. For sugar production, the Monteverde family operated a sugar cane mill in Argual , which was powered by the water from the caldera. The water was channeled through the aqueduct , which was built between 1555 and 1557 and is still partially preserved today .
Worth seeing is the in the district of Las Manchas situated Plaza de La Glorieta with its mosaics and plantings that of Luis Morera , a student of César Manrique designed.
In the Barranco de Las Angustias , a nature reserve , is the pilgrimage church of Nuestra Señora de las Angustias from the 16th century.
The extinct volcanoes in the districts of Argual , Triana , La Laguna and Todoque are protected as natural monuments.
In the lava field that spilled over Todoque to the sea with the eruption of the San Juan volcano in 1949 , several lava tunnels have formed, of which the Cueva de las Palomas and Cueva El Vidrio have been accessible since 2017.
