  • Torre del Conde, Parque del Conde,I think it is the oldest building of La Gomera but it is definitely the best preserved medieval fortification of the Canary Islands; erected around 1470 and its main use was for the defence of internal rebellions
  • Playa de la Cueva on the east side of the marina
  • the rock with…
  • La Antorcha, the olympic torch has visited La Gomera in 1968 on its journey to Mexico, because the boxer Antonio…Hernández, resident of La Gomera took part in the games
