Hipalán

Hipalán was one of the indigenous territories of La Gomera in the Canary Islands. Historical accounts place it around the eastern part of the island, in the area of San Sebastián. Early writers described La Gomera as divided into four territories, each with its own leader; they named Pedro Halhagal as the leader of Hipalán. The island came under the authority of Castilian lords during the fifteenth century, transforming the lives of its inhabitants.
