Viewer Edmundo writes about the Vallellano Village near Lospalos, Timor "Oh, the lake of Lospalos!! With the flamingos... . When I was a little boy! And the Mua Pitini mountains at the horizon..."
Lospalos (sometimes mistakenly written Los Palos) is a city in East Timor, 248 km to the east of Dili, the national capital. Lospalos has a population of 17,186 (2006) and is the capital of the district of Lautém and the subdistrict of Lospalos. The subdistrict has a population of 25,417 (2004).
Internationally, the city is incorrectly called Los Palos, suggesting that its name is of Spanish origin. In fact, it is derived from Lohoasupala, its name in Fataluku, the local Papuan language, although nowadays Fataluku speakers use the name Lospala. The correct name in English, as well Portuguese and Tetum, the official languages of East Timor, is Lospalos.
