The capital of the municipality is called “Tunte”, a place name that dates back to the settlement of an aboriginal town with the same name and, the place where, after the conquest, various settlers of Hispanic origin settled. Tunte is located at the foot of the Morros del Pinar and next to the bed of the Tirajana ravine, at 890 m. of altitude. Its privileged position in the heart of the Caldera de Tirajana has made it the main crossroads of communications between the north and south of Gran Canaria. It justifiably claims to be an ideal place for hiking. In its urban area, various architectural styles are mixed, justified by the passage of history. One of the most emblematic and traditional buildings in its town center is the Church of San Bartolomé.
