Chipude is a village in the upper part of Vallehermoso which spans the upper midlands in the south-east of the island, bordering the Garajonay National Park. It was one of the first big towns on the island after the Spanish arrived, but in Pre-hispanic times, it was already an important region for ancient Gomerans because of the sacred place for rituals, the Monumento Natural de La Fortaleza. The Feast of the Virgin of Candelaria is celebrated on 15 August, which coincides with the middle of summer, and as Chipude is in the centre, it has become one of the biggest events on the island.
