Kubinynas

Kubinynas is a historical site located on the island of La Gomera in the Canary Islands, Spain. The site is situated in the municipality of Valle Gran Rey and features the remains of a pre-Hispanic settlement that dates back to the 13th century. The name "Kubinynas" is derived from the indigenous Guanci language, meaning "high rock" or "rocky place".

Excavations at the site began in the 1960s and revealed a series of dwellings, artifacts, and other structural remains. The settlement is believed to have been inhabited by the Guanci people, a pre-Columbian tribe that inhabited the Canary Islands. The site's layout and architecture are characteristic of the traditional Guanci way of life, with stone houses and fortifications that reflect the island's unique cultural heritage.

The excavations at Kubinynas have provided valuable insights into the social, economic, and cultural practices of the Guanci people. The site has yielded artifacts such as ceramics, tools, and other objects that are now on display in various museums in the region. Today, Kubinynas is a protected archaeological site, managed by the Regional Government of the Canary Islands. Visitors can explore the site and its surrounding landscape, which offers breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside and the ocean.
