The festival of the Virgen de la Caridad del Cobre in La Orilla has its origins in the Cuban community settled in Santa Lucía de Tirajana. At the end of the seventies of the last century, Aida de Varona and her husband Marcelo Luaces, arrived from Cuba and contributed to the construction of the church of La Orilla, which they dedicated to the patron saint of Cuba.
