The name Bandama is not of Spanish origin. It is derived from the Flemish trader Daniel Van Damme, who ran a very successful winery in the Caldera in the 16th century. This man's will is the first written documentation of viticulture in this area of the island. The wine presses, which are still partially preserved today, and the associated fermentation tanks (lagares), in which the grapes were mashed, are among the oldest of their kind in Gran Canaria.
