Lospalos — sometimes erroneously written as Los Palos, assuming a nonexistent
Spanish etymology — is a city in East Timor, 248 kilometres (154 mi) to the
east of Dili, the national
capital. Lospalos has a population of 17,186 (2006) and is the capital of
Lautém District
and the
Lospalos Subdistrict. The subdistrict has a population of 25,417 (2004).
Internationally, "Lospalos" is mistakenly spelled as Los Palos,
suggesting a Spanish origin of the name. In fact, it is derived from
Lohoasupala, the name in Fataluku, the local Papuan language, although
nowadays Fataluku speakers use the name Lospala. The preferred spelling in
English, as well
as Tetum and
Portuguese, the official languages of East Timor, is Lospalos.

Timor-Leste is a country that has just restored its independence on 20 May 2002, perhaps a country that can be said to be easy and still in the process of progressing both in terms of economic, social, cultural, health, and educational conditions. It also has many tourist attractions that are attractive to tourists and one of them is on the beach of Suai Loro which is located in the southern part of the island of Timor.
Geographically, Suai Loro is located in Cova-Lima district, Suai city district, and quite far from the capital city of Dili. The journey from the capital city to the district takes 8 hours by car or we can also use public transportation such as buses and others. Suai Loro Beach is the tourist centre of one of the Suai sub-districts because it is very close to the city, it only takes 15 minutes to arrive at the destination.
Lots of visitors come to capture their moments in Suai Loro because the beach has a very wide view with very active waves on the beach. Many people come during big holidays such as the new year on January 1 and other big days to celebrate family parties and we can also celebrate or party there. Around it is not interesting when there is also a relic of the oldest fort from the Portuguese colonial era which is still intact until now as a memory to remember the history of the past and it is very interesting for us to visit because many people who come not only from the native area but there are also foreigners who come here. excited to come.
Ainaro municipality, in the southern part of the country, has spectacular scenery from the central mountains to the wild south coast and provides wonderful opportunities for exploring and hiking. This area includes Timor-Leste’s highest peak – Mt Ramelau (2960m) which is sacred to the Timorese and known at Tatamailau (grandfather). The towns of Maubisse and Hato Builico have very spectacular hill settings and the larger town of Ainaro is located at a much lower elevation in a lush river valley midway to the Timor Sea.
This is definitely scenery where you want to keep your camera close at hand. The panoramic views from the Maubisse pousada on its promontory are especially impressive, as are the views from Mt Ramelau at dawn after a guided climb from Hato Builico.
Looking out over the mountain ranges of Timor-Leste bathed in the early morning light is an unforgettable and very rewarding experience.
A lot of coffee is grown in the Ainaro area and vegetables are cultivated in between rocky screes on what often seems like impossibly steep slopes.
Ponies are still commonly used for carrying produce and other goods between the isolated villages and markets. They and other livestock are seen grazing on the mountainsides.
The majority of the local people speak Mambae and their villages with characteristic thatched circular, conical roofed houses are scattered across the municipality.

About BNU Bank
The BNU in Timor Creation of the Dili Agency in Timor in 1912
The Royal Charter of Dom Luís I, of May 16, 1864, sanctioned the decree
of the general courts, of May 10, authorizing the creation of a bank
called Banco Nacional Ultramarino.
Article 2 was clear about the objectives outlined for Banco Ultramarino:
“The national overseas bank will have a branch in Loanda in the province
of Angola with an effective capital of no less than 400:000$000 réis,
which may be raised to 1,000: 000$000 réis, and successively as needed, as
well as branches in Benguella and Mossamedes: and in each of the other
overseas provinces, as well as in each of the captains of the four
districts of the Azores and Madeira, there will be at least one agency”.
Effectively, the BNU was created with the objective of being implemented
in all the places of the vast and distant Portuguese colonial empire, and
helping to develop the economy of those territories.
It would then be up to the Bank to financially help these territories, a
mission that the State was clearly unable to carry out in its entirety,
effectively achieving this objective with success, in the years following
its creation.
