Historical milestone · Artenara, Gran Canaria - Oeste, Las Palmas

Image of Artenara, not of the place itself.

After a 19th century marked by droughts and famines, Artenara experienced an intense rural exodus in the 1960s stemming from the agricultural crisis, which reduced its population until it became the least populated municipality in Gran Canaria.
