Tuineje

Not far from Pajara is Tuineje, a small, quiet towntuineje with some places of interest worth looking at.

The church of San Marcos, which was built in the 18th century, is of interest as is the 18th century hermitage of San Marcos Evangelista in nearby Tiscamanita.


 

 

 In 1740 just 37 farmers armed with less than half a dozen muskets battled against 50 English pirates and won attacking the English before they had chance to reload. Thirty Englishmen and five locals were killed that day.

The canon they captured can still be seen in front of the museum in Betancuria.
