Image of Hermigua, not of the place itself.

After the rebellion of the aboriginal Gomerans against Hernán Peraza 'el Joven' in 1488, the reprisals led by Pedro de Vera wiped out much of the indigenous population. Beatriz de Bobadilla, lady of the island, later distributed the land of the Hermigua valley among settlers, beginning its era as a major sugar-cane producer.
