Proposed Orotna Airport

​

Costa Rica plans a new international airport in the community of Coyolar in Orotina. 

​

The proposed airport will also have a strategic location 30 minutes away from the capital, close to the beaches of the Pacific and only 25 Km from Esparza.

​

It is anticipated that the new airport will require the development of local infrastructure including hotels, restaurants, transportation and shopping, all of which will be a boon to the Orotina/Esparza areas.

History

​

The City of Esparza and the Ports of Caldera and Puntarenas are located on the central pacific coast of Costa Rica and Esparza is one of the oldest cities in Central America.

​

Esparza was founded by the Spanish Governor Alonso Anguciana de Gamboa in December 1574 obliging the population to move from Aranjuez to the new City of the Holy Spirit. Three years later, in 1577, Don Diego Artieda de Cherinos, originally from Esparza de Salazar in Spain, arrived as the new Governor of Costa Rica, rehabilitates Calderas Port as the main entrance from the sea to the province of Costa Rica and names the City for the Holly Spirit of Esparza.

​

From 1574 to 1686 pirates invaded Esparza and the economy brakes down with serious social problems. Esparza was the main city of Costa Rica in the XVII Century and was the departure point of the Spanish Conquest to colonize the north of the country.

​

Even today the Port of Caldera is still the main port on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica; it has been renovated for commercial and tourism.

​

By the law of September 3 of 1879 the name of Esparza was changed to Esparta and for almost a hundred years the city was known by this name. In May 1974 the name was changed back to Esparza. Today, Esparza is known as “Ciudad Primada” the only city in the country that has had the same location since it was founded. Recently Esparza was award the blue flag as one of the cleanest cities in Costa Rica.

​

The last census done in the year 2000 indicated that the population was 23,963 inhabitants. The oldest census shows about 679 habitants in 1864.
