History

Pozo Izquierdo has a rich and varied history that dates back to ancient times. This small but significant area is known for its natural and cultural importance, particularly its role in local agriculture and later in tourism. The history of Pozo Izquierdo is intertwined with the development of the island’s rural economy, and it has been a focal point for both local communities and international visitors.

The name Pozo Izquierdo, which translates to “Left Well” in Spanish, is derived from the presence of a natural well in the area that historically provided water to the local communities. This well was an essential source of water for the residents of Santa Lucía de Tirajana, especially during times of drought. The water source was important for agriculture, as it supported the cultivation of crops such as tomatoes, potatoes, and bananas, which were staples of the island’s rural economy. The fertile lands around Pozo Izquierdo attracted settlers and farmers over the centuries, and the well became central to the village’s survival and prosperity.
