Las Negras receives this name from the mountain to the left of the town, Cerro Negro, a large mass of dark-colored volcanic material.

In Las Negras you can do various activities: excursions, mountain bike routes, hiking, kayaking...

This was the primitive settlement of Las Negras, dominated by the watchtower castle, at one time, the Civil Guard barracks. The older ones tell how every day they had to row a boat or ride a donkey along the steep trails3 to what is now known as Las Negras in search of food or communication with the rest of the world.
The name comes from an old story. It is said that the town of Las Negras was founded after a tragedy at sea. Sailors from the town of San Pedro went to sea and were never heard from again. After this, the women of the sailors, dedicated to agriculture, saw the need to approach the rest of the towns in order to survive. They created this new settlement, conditioned the name by the color of the mourning of its founders. Originally, the town only consisted of 10 white houses.
