Hist

The origin of the name comes from a nearby spring known as Fuente Santa located near the coastline which is presently known as Playa de Echentive and was separated by lava and eliminated the springs in the 18th century. In 1971, Teneguía created a volcanic eruption and caused some damages to most of the properties. Recently, the Canarian Council of Public Works in collaboration with the municipality had made a sounding in an area where water under the ground is at 60°C. The objective in the future is that a gallery will be built in the area to extract these waters and take advantage of them in a special pool.
