Ajo is the capital of Bareyo municipality in Cantabria, Spain. The town is 29 kilometres (18 mi) from Santander.

History

The first historical written reference to Ajo (Asio) is in the "Liber Testamentarum" of Oviedo Cathedral from 923, in which the King Ordoño II of León donated the church of San Juan de Asio. Popular etymology without any basis says that the name comes from the great quantity of garlic that the town's inhabitants consumed and that gave the locality a typical smell.

Economy

25% of the population of the municipality works in the primary sector, 19.1% in construction, 9.5% in industry and 46.4% in the services sector. The jobs of more than 78% of the population are related to the garlic industry.

Means of information

The municipal corporation has published since 2007 the Ojerada magazine, which reports on various activities in the municipality. Since 2010, the municipality has a means of information managed by neighbors that has become a reference for local information in Cantabria. It is the Bareyo Digital or Bareyo Digital Media.

Incidents

On January 21, 2008 two private planes collided in Corona killing five people, including one on the ground. The collision occurred about a mile away from the Corona Municipal Airport above Serfas Club Drive. The crash wreckage left debris strewn along a commercial strip near the 91 Freeway. Eyewitnesses claim to see an explosion in the air and two different bodies fall from the sky. The aircraft involved were both single-engine Cessnas, a two-seat Cessna 150 and a four-seat Cessna 172. Investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board, local Corona Police Detectives as well as the Federal Aviation Administration began their probe the following day. As of January 23 a cause for the accident is yet to be determined.
