History

Unión Deportiva Pájara Playas de Jandía was founded in 1996, after buying Unión Deportiva La Pared's berth, a club founded 20 years earlier. It promoted to the third division at the first attempt, going on to remain there 12 consecutive years – in 2003–04 it finished second in its group, but failed in the promotion playoffs.

Pájara was dissolved on 12 July 2011, due to economic limitations.^[1]
