Historical milestone · Ingenio, Gran Canaria - Sureste, Las Palmas

Image of Ingenio, not of the place itself.

In the early 16th century the Madeiran Antonio Sardinha built a sugarcane mill in the area, which in 1518 passed to Alonso de Matos and which gave the future municipality its name; sugar production disappeared around the mid-1580s.
