There are many legends related to this island, the best known is the one that explains the construction of the hermitage on that island; Vicente Risco says this:
In Creba there were Moors who had a temple of their false god. The Christians killed them leaving only the chief's daughter. She invoked the devil, who raised a tempest, drowned the Christians and separated the island from the earth. The blackberry became a great serpent surrounded by wild beasts that plunged the boats. The Christians went to a holy man who advised them to bless the island and erect the church of Our Lady of A Creba.
