There are more than 2,000 people living in the 26 villages of the park providing a unique cultural heritage. In the first centuries after the conquest the towns such as Taganaga flourished with the export of sugar cane and wine, but later they were left to self support, which when you see the lay land was very hard work on the steep slopes which were non irrigated and dry.
