Plato spoke of Atlantis as the most advanced people of humanity, full of riches and wisdom. The inhabitants of the lost continent -as also known as Atlantis-, degenerated into all kinds of perversions over the centuries and Zeus punished them in the course of a night causing a great cataclysm by which Atlantis disappeared. According to the legend, the Canary Islands are considering the peaks of Atlantis. But the temples and their palaces were under the waters of the ocean that would take her name; The Atlantic ocean. This would be one of the existing legends about Atlantis, since there are several theories regarding the final situation of the Lost Continent.

On its slopes, Canary Islands Pine was reintroduced in the 1950s. It is the highest elevation of the province of Las Palmas and the third highest mountain in the Canary Islands. Of the other Canary Islands, only Tenerife and La Palma have higher peaks.
VeguetaVegueta was the founding nucleus of the city, the place where in 1478 the troops of the conqueror Juan Rejón erected the Real de las Palmas, the name that would be received from the palm trees that rose in the place. It was the first Castilian site in the Atlantic, as well as the place where the Crown of Castile initiated the Conquest of the Canary Islands. The neighborhood owes its name to the fertile plain that extended around the Real de las Palmas, called "La Vegueta de Santa Ana". From then on it would be the center of political, religious and administrative life on the island.
