Breña Alta
La Palma
El municipio de Breña Alta está situado en el este de la isla de La Palma. Tiene una extensión de 30,82 km², una longitud de costa de 1,30 km. Limita al Norte con Santa Cruz de La Palma por el barranco de Juan Mayor y una línea artificiosa en el tramo bajo. El límite Sur, con Breña Baja, corresponde en líneas generales al antiguo camino de herradura que por la Cumbre Vieja enlazaba la capital con los Llanos de Aridane.
El poblamiento de este Municipio ha estado condicionado por los factores humedad y suelo, fundamentalmente y se sitúa, en términos generales, en la zona media, en torno a los 300 mts., y en la zona alta (zona de San Isidro) sobre los 600 mts. aproximadamente.
Posee un puerto pesquero y una playa artificial en la costa, en el barrio de Bajamar, así como varias zonas industriales. El municipio es famoso por su producción de tabaco. Sus principales barrios son: San Pedro (Casco Urbano), Breña (San Isidro), Las Ledas, Buenavista de Arriba, Buenavista de Abajo, Botazo, Miranda, El Llanito y La Cuesta.
Antiguamente la zona estaba constituida por Buenavista, y La Breña; debido a su distinta edad geológica.
Inicialmente el Risco de la Concepción se llamó Asomada de la Palma y cambió el nombre cuando se construyó la ermita. El nombre inicial deriva de la gran vista panorámica que desde el mismo se divisa la capital de la isla.
