Delgado there Venegas, which was bishop of the Canaries, arrived in 1776 at this village and lives that men and women of the village bathed naked in a species of pond "marciega". Scandalized by this show, it excommunicated all the inhabitants of the village. The current inhabitants still remember this anecdote and they continue to bathe in the pond, but equipped, and one benefits from this opportunity to celebrate a competition of fishing there based on techniques of yesteryear and which evolved with the years.
