Breña Alta
La Palma
The municipality of Breña Alta is located in the east of the island of La Palma. It has an area of 30.82 km², a coastline length of 1.30 km. It is bordered to the north by Santa Cruz de La Palma by the Juan Mayor ravine and an artificial line in the lower section. The southern limit, with Breña Baja, corresponds broadly to the old bridle path that linked the capital with the Llanos de Aridane through the Cumbre Vieja.
The settlement of this Municipality has been conditioned by humidity and soil factors, fundamentally and is situated, in general terms, in the middle area, around 300 meters, and in the upper area (San Isidro area) on the 600 mts. approximately.
It has a fishing port and an artificial beach on the coast, in the Bajamar neighborhood, as well as several industrial zones. The municipality is famous for its tobacco production. Its main neighborhoods are: San Pedro (Casco Urbano), Breña (San Isidro), Las Ledas, Buenavista de Arriba, Buenavista de Abajo, Botazo, Miranda, El Llanito and La Cuesta.
Formerly the area was constituted by Buenavista, and La Breña; due to its different geological age.
Initially the Risco de la Concepción was called Asomada de la Palma and changed its name when the hermitage was built. The initial name derives from the great panoramic view that the capital of the island can be seen from it.
