This peculiar place name refers to a cave that was traditionally used as a stable for camels owned by migrants coming from Fuerteventura (Majoreros). During the 1940s, these animals were hired and used for agricultural tasks and to carry construction material to build the current Basilica.
Located at the end of the San Blas promenade, it was temporarily used by the aborigines. Its Guanche name is unknown, but the place is commonly known as the camels’ cave. People say that this cave was used by pilgrims who came by camel to see the Virgin Mary.
