The mountain village of Chipude, on the plateau, is considered to be the oldest settlement on La Gomera. Even in the pre-Spanish era, the inhabitants knew to appreciate the fertile land near the cult mountain, La Fortaleza.
Up until 200 years ago, Chipude was the most populated village on the island. The centre of town is the village square, where the Iglesia Virgen de la Candelaria was built in 1540.
