In its landscape, the rocky elevation known as Roque Bermejo or Corcovado stands out, which gives the village its name.

The Ossuna family was the owner of the local hacienda, known as Hacienda de Anaga, until the middle of the 20th century, when it was transferred to the Bishopric of Tenerife.

Hermitage was built in 1934.

In 1994 it became fully included in the natural space of the Anaga Rural Park.
