The parent parish of San Marcos Evangelista located in the municipality of Icod de los Vinos, Isla de Tenerife is the most important religious construction of ICOD and its region, giving off its origins to the small hermitage, subsidiary of the matrix parish of the apostle Santiago de The Realejos, which around 1500 rose in this same place, as a result of the appearance of the image of San Marcos Evangelista, which the tradition places on the beach that bears its name prior to the Castilian conquest, and which was raised to the Parish category in 1515, together with San Pedro de Daute, of the neighboring municipality of Garachico.
