San Jose has a population of about 800, which doubles or triples in the summer. Even in this case, their environment is in harmony with the environment of the park, their houses are small buildings with white walls.

In the 18th century, on the orders of Philip V, the fortress of San José was built on the coast to monitor and protect the coastal area. The small fishing village of San José was built under the protection of the fortress. This place has not lost its original charm to this day, even though many tourists flock to the beautiful beaches in summer.
