Image of Cañada, not of the place itself.

The scattered houses of El Portell, La Solana and El Pinaret were organised as a district in the middle of the eighteenth century. In 1795 they separated from Biar to depend on Beneixama and, after a period united with Camp de Mirra, they obtained their own town council on 24 April 1843.
