Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: The cave dwellings of Artenara were very important in the development of this area. The original inhabitants were from North Africa, a tribe of Berbers called the Canari. There is recorded evidence that the cave houses of the nearby village of Acusa were occupied continually from approx. 500AD to the 1970´s. So for about 1000 years before the Spanish conquest there were settlements in this area. The original inhabitants made the very intelligent decision that farming land was too important to waste on housing, so they decided to make use of the natural rocks in the area to excavate cave houses and shelters. This is one of the reasons for the unique development of this area.
