The Legend of the Great King Hupalupa

They valley gets it’s name from the legendary king Hupalupa. In the pre-Spanish era, the fertile valley was the home of the ancient Canarian king.

Tales tell of his beautiful daughter, who, together with her father, could stop bad things happening to her people, thanks to her psychic abilities.

It is also told however, that the king’s son tried to sabotage his father’s plan to kill the Spanish tyrant Peraza.

Because of this Hupalupa stabbed his own son in front of his people.
