EL CEDRO. A fairytale forest
El Cedro is a beautiful forest perfect to be amazed by magic, thanks to its laurel forest and its refreshing and thick mists will make you think of all those fables that speak of this great forest. El Cedro Forest has a beautiful stream through which water runs throughout the year (something unusual in the Canary Islands). It is also considered one of the largest forest stands in the entire Canary Islands. The forest has a wonderful hiking route, which begins with a slight descent and goes deeper into nature, full of ferns, laurel forest and tangled trunks of faya.
El PESCANTE.The fun guaranteed
A place of great historical interest for its influence on the development of the town of Hermigua. Nowadays it is a meeting point for the townspeople for its natural pool and for its pounding waters of the Rock that makes the place a point of attraction. You can play sports swimming in the crystal clear sea waters of this large pool, and then jump into the rock, a natural formation between the rocks that forms another totally wild pool. It is the sensation of bathing in the same Atlantic Ocean next to the columns of the old jetty making this site the most impressive and unique on La Gomera.
LA PLAYA DE LA CALETA
It is one of the best beaches in the Hermigua valley and the island, which is why it stands out for being one of the main tourist attractions. Due to the place in which it is located, Playa de la Caleta is one of the best places to see the sunsets. From its shore, we will be able to contemplate a truly impressive landscape, since the sunset stains the sea with reddish and orange tones creating a great pictorial spectacle.
LA PLAYA DE SANTA CATALINA
Playa de Santa Catalina is characterized by the vigor of the sea in the north of La Gomera almost all year round, which makes it a place where locals and visitors practice Surf and Body Board. In summer, especially in late August and September, the beach transforms and the tides relax, bringing up a large amount of black sand that makes it an ideal place for swimming with views of El Pescante and Tenerife with El Teide.
