Historical milestone · Puerto del Rosario, Fuerteventura, Las Palmas

Image of Puerto del Rosario, not of the place itself.

On 16 March 1956 the Council of Ministers approved changing the name of Puerto de Cabras to Puerto del Rosario, as the original place name was considered "a permanent affront that invites ridicule" and a source of humiliation for its townspeople.
