Komme gerade aus dem Sonic Film und fand ihn total super! Zehnmal besser als ich gedacht habe! Klar waren die Erwartungen erstmal niedrig, aber nach dem Makeover waren sie wieder höher und wurden dann übertroffen. Mega nice! Die meisten im Kino waren mindestens 2000er Kinder, vereinzelt ein paar Ältere oder eben 90er.

La Gomera es una de las ocho islas principales de las islas Canarias ( España), y la tercera más pequeña si incluímos a La Graciosa (la cual es considerada una isla menor). La Gomera está situada en el océano Atlántico, en la parte occidental del archipiélago. Pertenece a la provincia de Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Su capital es San Sebastián de La Gomera, donde se ubica la sede del Cabildo Insular. La isla es desde el año 2012 Reserva de la Biosfera. [ 6] En el centro de la isla se encuentra el Parque Nacional de Garajonay, declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad en 1986 por la Unesco. Por su parte el Silbo gomero ( lenguaje silbado heredado de los aborígenes gomeros), también es Patrimonio de la Humanidad desde 2009. La Gomera tiene una población de 21. 503 habitantes (2019) [ 2] por lo que es la sexta isla de Canarias en cuanto a población. También ocupa el sexto lugar en extensión con una superficie de 369, 76 km². Toponimia Hay muchas teorías sobre la procedencia del nombre "Gomera". Algunas de estas teorías no tienen ningún rigor ni fundamento, como la que dice que su nombre proviene de Gomer, nieto de Noé. [ 7] La teoría más avalada es que el nombre Gomera está relacionado con las tribus bereberes (hoy arabizadas) de Gomara en la región de Xauen en el norte de Marruecos (en castellano tenemos Peñón de Vélez de La Gomera y otros). Estas tribus son agrícolas y desconocen la navegación igual que los oriundos de la isla canaria del mismo nombre, con lo cual se piensa que pudieron ser llevados en su día por algún pueblo de navegantes. El nombre de Gomera aparece por primera vez en el libro "El conocimiento de los Reinos del Mundo" (circa 1350) obra atribuida a un fraile aragonés que se cree castellanizó los topónimos que utilizaban los cartógrafos mallorquines en la designación de las islas. El primer mapa en el que aparece la isla y su topónimo es el Atlas de Cresques de 1375. [ 7] En Mallorca, el castillo del Temple fue levantado sobre un jardín musulmán de nombre Almunia Gumera, y con los años recibió el nombre de Fortaleza Gomera y quedaba en el límite Noreste del call judío de forma que la muralla de la Fortaleza Gomera era el límite del call; en ese límite Abraham Cresques, coautor del Atlas mencionado con anterioridad, tenía su vivienda. El Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera fue conquistado por Castilla para sus dominios en 1508. Los aborígenes de la isla se referían a ella precisamente como Ghomara, nombre que ha sido traducido como "notable" o "jefe". [ 8] Los romanos conocían la isla como Iunonia o Junonia según se desprende de la obra Naturalis Historia de Plinio el Viejo. [ 9] Descripción La Gomera tiene una superficie de 369, 76 km². Su punto más alto es el pico Garajonay, con 1. 487 m de altitud, que pertenece al Parque Nacional de Garajonay. La isla tiene unos 12 millones de años de antigüedad. También es conocida como la isla colombina, porque fue lugar de avituallamiento de Cristóbal Colón antes de partir al Nuevo Mundo en 1492. La población de derecho de la isla es de 21. 503 habitantes (2019). [ 2] En los años 50 del pasado siglo llegó a tener alrededor de unos 30. 000 habitantes. Naturaleza La Gomera cuenta con el Parque Nacional de Garajonay, constituido en 1981 y posteriormente nombrado por la Unesco como Patrimonio de la Humanidad. Este alberga una joya natural propia del periodo terciario: el bosque de laurisilva. Dicha formación vegetal subtropical está formada por una gran variedad de árboles que conservan su follaje durante todo el año gracias a la alta humedad y a las suaves temperaturas. Este bosque, considerado una reliquia viviente, cubrió la cuenca del mediterráneo durante el terciario, y desapareció casi en su totalidad con las sucesivas glaciaciones. En Garajonay se pueden encontrar fayas, brezos, laureles, helechos, etc... que presentan endemismos típicos del desarrollo en un entorno aislado y benigno. La zona se ve afectada por los vientos alísios, generando el llamado mar de nubes, por lo que la condensación del vapor de agua en las hojas de los árboles ( lluvia horizontal) eleva de manera considerable la cantidad de agua en el terreno. El parque puede recorrerse fácilmente gracias a los numerosos senderos que lo atraviesan. Espacios naturales En total los entornos bajo protección según la Red Canaria de Espacios Naturales Protegidos son 17: Parques Nacionales Parque Nacional de Garajonay Reservas Naturales Integrales Reserva Natural Integral de Benchijigua Reservas Naturales Especiales Reserva Natural Especial de Puntallana Parques Naturales Parque Natural de Majona Parques Rurales Parque rural de Valle de Gran Rey Monumentos Naturales Monumento Natural de Los Órganos Monumento Natural de Roque Cano Monumento Natural de Roque Blanco Monumento Natural de La Fortaleza Monumento Natural del Barranco del Cabrito Monumento Natural de La Caldera Monumento Natural del Lomo del Carretón Monumento Natural de Los Roques Paisajes Protegidos Paisaje Protegido de Orone Sitios de Interés Científico Sitio de Interés Científico de Acantilados de Alajeró Sitio de Interés Científico del Charco del Conde Sitio de Interés Científico del Charco de Cieno Flora y fauna La isla cuenta con cientos de endemismos vegetales y animales, que hacen que sea rica en biodiversidad. Destaca el Lotus gomerythus, vegetal perteneciente al género Lotus del que sólo queda un ejemplar en el mundo. [ 10] Entre los endemismos animales de la isla destaca el lagarto gigante de La Gomera ( Gallotia bravoana), un reptil que está en peligro crítico según la Lista Roja de la IUCN. Se creía extinto hasta junio de 1999, cuando un equipo de investigadores de la Universidad de La Laguna halló una pequeña población en los acantilados de la Mérica. El hábitat salvaje actual del lagarto se ubica en el Risco de la Mérica, en el Valle Gran Rey. En el mismo municipio se encuentra un centro de recuperación para la cría en cautividad de la especie que gestiona el cabildo insular y donde han nacido más de 300 ejemplares. Geología Los Órganos. La Gomera, al igual que el resto de las Canarias, es una isla volcánica. No obstante, los episodios volcánicos pueden considerarse cosa del pasado: las últimas erupciones se produjeron hace unos dos millones de años. La erosión del agua ha trazado numerosos barrancos, y en la costa ha delineado prominentes acantilados: ejemplo de ello es el espacio natural protegido de Los Órganos, al norte de la isla. Los Órganos constituyen una muestra de columnatas basálticas, formadas por el lento enfriamiento de lava en un antiguo cráter. Clima El clima de La Gomera no difiere en gran medida de las condiciones meteorológicas de las islas occidentales. Las zonas altas de la isla reciben más lluvias que las zonas costeras, lo mismo que ocurre en la zona norte con respecto a la zona sur. Las temperaturas se mantienen estables durante todo el año registrándose las más altas durante el verano. El fenómeno de la lluvia horizontal tiene mucha importancia en el Parque Nacional de Garajonay, donde se deposita el agua contenida en las brumas creando un tupido bosque de laurisilva Tabla climatológica de La Gomera Datos climáticos Enero Febrero Marzo Abril Mayo Junio Julio Agosto Septiembre Octubre Noviembre Diciembre Temperatura diurna 21 22 23 24 25 27 29 28 26 Temperatura nocturna 15 16 17 18 20 19 Horas de sol al día 6 7 8 9 5 Días de lluvia/mes 4 3 2 1 0 Temperatura del agua Símbolos naturales de la isla Según una ley del Gobierno de Canarias, los símbolos naturales de La Gomera son la paloma rabiche y el viñátigo. [ 3] Paloma rabiche Viñátigo Economía La economía insular se ha basado históricamente en la agricultura. En las zonas llanas predomina el cultivo de plátanos, papaya, mango y aguacate. No obstante, la producción es pequeña, de tipo familiar, y se dedica al autoabastecimiento de la isla. En laderas de las montañas y barrancos, los cultivos se realizan en terrazas. Básicamente se plantan papas (patatas) y algunas hortalizas. La ganadería de la isla se compone de cabras, así el queso fresco y curado, realizado aún de forma artesanal, es otro de los productos típicos gastronómicos de la isla. En los últimos años, el desarrollo económico se ha orientado hacia el turismo, especialmente en el rural. El senderismo, excursionismo, pesca y ciclismo de montaña, son los deportes más practicados por el turismo en la isla. Pese a que la isla carece de grandes centros turísticos, desde el Cabildo se han llevado a cabo una serie de programas para restaurar casas antiguas y convertirlas en pequeños hoteles rurales. Los núcleos turísticos emergentes son Valle Gran Rey, Playa Santiago y San Sebastián de la Gomera. Gracias a su imagen como isla "virgen" del turismo de masas y con una naturaleza y paisajes exuberantes. Transportes En 1999 se inauguró el Aeropuerto de La Gomera, cerca de la localidad de Playa Santiago, municipio de Alajeró. La pista de aterrizaje es demasiado pequeña por lo que no pueden operar vuelos chárter, siendo utilizado el aeropuerto sólo para conexiones insulares. La compañía Binter Canarias realiza diariamente dos vuelos desde los aeropuertos de Tenerife Norte y Gran Canaria. Generalmente se accede a La Gomera a través del barco. Dos compañías realizan conexiones regulares desde la isla al Puerto de Los Cristianos en el sur de Tenerife. Fred. Olsen Express realiza una travesía de unos 45 minutos de duración, desde San Sebastián de la Gomera. Por su parte, Naviera Armas ha actualizado su flota y opera con un barco de reciente construcción, el Volcán de Taburiente, que tarda unos 50 minutos en hacer el trayecto entre el puerto de Los Cristianos y el de San Sebastián. Fred. Olsen Express. Además, existe conexión directa con la isla de La Palma. La red de carreteras de la isla conecta todas las poblaciones de la isla. Existe un servicio regular de guaguas que conecta San Sebastián de la Gomera, con todas las poblaciones. Sin embargo, la frecuencia es escasa y es difícil moverse de una localidad a otra utilizando este medio de transporte, porque el punto más lejano de un municipio a otro es de 90 minutos. Hasta hace 2 años había transporte marítimo interno pero con la retirada de las subvenciones por parte de las distintas instituciones ya no existe este medio, y por lo tanto el coche particular o de alquiler es el más utilizado. A partir de 2017, el servicio marítimo interno ha sido restablecido por Fred Olsen Express con su buque Benchi Express, mientras que a partir de 2018 Naviera Armas iniciaría la ruta San Sebastian de la Gomera - Valle Gran Rey con varios buques, todos alquilados, excepto uno de ellos, que es en propiedad. Municipios La isla está dividida en 6 municipios: Municipios de la Gomera: 1. San Sebastián; 2. Hermigua; 3. Agulo; 4. Vallehermoso; 5. Valle Gran Rey; 6. Alajeró Historia Los primeros pobladores Réplica de Tagoror aborigen en la cima del Alto del Garajonay, con el Teide al fondo. La isla estaba poblada por los gomeros o gomeritas, indígenas de la isla. De ellos se conservan varias tradiciones, pero la más famosa es el lenguaje de los silbos (o silbo gomero), una forma de comunicación para superar las limitaciones de la accidentada orografía. Otras tradiciones vigentes de los aborígenes son la extracción de la savia de la palmera canaria ( Phoenix canariensis) para producir la Miel de Palma, el Salto del Pastor y el Gofio. Al comenzar la conquista, la isla se encontraba dividida en 4 cantones: Mulagua, Hipalan, Orone y Agana, identificándose estos territorios con los grandes valles de Hermigua, San Sebastián, Valle Gran Rey y Vallehermoso, respectivamente. La Conquista y el Señorío de La Gomera Se dice que La Gomera nunca fue conquistada y que a lo largo de los años cuando los nuevos pobladores europeos fueron estableciéndose en la isla, los aborígenes reconocieron su autoridad. Los gomeros fueron un pueblo "inconformista" y "rebelde" que se levantaba cada vez que se cometía una tropelía o una injusticia hacia su pueblo. Esta isla al igual que El Hierro, Lanzarote y Fuerteventura estaban bajo un señorío, que duró hasta principios del siglo XIX, a diferencia del realengo en el que estaban las islas de La Palma, Tenerife y Gran Canaria. El señorío de la Gomera está relacionado con la familia Peraza y se caracterizó por su crueldad y por su tiranía. Hernán Peraza "el Viejo" se establece en La Gomera. Debido a la muerte de su hijo Guillén Peraza en una incursión en La Palma, le sucede Diego de Herrera, marido de Inés Peraza. Y a su muerte, el señorío fue repartido entre parte de sus hijos. La Gomera y el Hierro correspondieron a Hernán Peraza "el Joven". Se inicia ahora un periodo de significativa violencia, tanto por la gran represión contra el pueblo indígena como las venganzas hacia otros conquistadores. Torre del Conde. La muerte de Juan Rejón a manos de Hernán Peraza por viejas rencillas hace que sea llamado a la Corte de los Reyes Católicos. Finalmente se salva de cualquier juicio, pero es obligado a casarse con Beatriz de Bobadilla y Ulloa. Debido a una revuelta de los gomeros, se refugian en la Torre del Conde y piden ayuda a Pedro de Vera que con gran crueldad asesina a gran número de rebeldes y se lleva para Gran Canaria a más de doscientos gomeros como esclavos. Posteriormente Hernán Peraza se enamora de Iballa, una indígena gomera, y en uno de sus encuentros amorosos es asesinado por Hupalupo, padre de Iballa, y por Hautacuperche. Después de su muerte el pueblo se levantó de nuevo en contra del señorío. Pedro de Vera acudió otra vez en ayuda de Beatriz de Bobadilla y huyeron los gomeros a las cumbres. Pedro de Vera, mediante la astucia, quiso vengarse, y publicó un bando en el que el cualquier gomero que no acudiera a las honras fúnebres de Fernán Peraza, sería acusado de cómplice y traidor, asimismo indultaría a aquellos que acudieran. Los que acudieron al funeral en la Villa serían inmediatamente hechos presos, así como también fueron apresados algunos que permanecieron en las cumbres. Se ordena la condena a muerte de todos los indígenas mayores de 15 años, si bien esta medida no se llevó a la práctica en su totalidad. No satisfecho con los asesinatos, a su llegada a Gran Canaria, ordenó ajusticiar a todos los gomeros que se encontraban en aquella isla y exportando como esclavos a gran parte de niños y mujeres, hacia la península o hacia las otras islas. Posteriormente muchos de los que fueron deportados como esclavos regresarían a la isla de La Gomera. Unos años más tarde La Gomera entra en los libros de historia como la última tierra pisada por Cristóbal Colón antes de llegar a América, en su primer viaje. El lugar donde se afirma que se alojó es ahora un museo conocido como la Casa de Colón, aunque no hay documentación que respalde esa afirmación. Historia contemporánea Debate historiográfico La mayor parte de los escasos trabajos que se han acercado al análisis de la sociedad gomera contemporánea han dejado patente, de forma directa o indirecta, el carácter capitalista de ésta y, por tanto, de su base económica. Estas interpretaciones no fueron fórmulas sui generis aplicadas al caso de La Gomera; antes, al contrario, responden a la síntesis de algunas líneas explicativas que se manejaron en los debates historiográficos de Canarias generados a partir de finales de los años setenta. La mayor parte de esas líneas o corrientes, aunque difieran en la forma concreta de desenvolvimiento del proceso socioeconómico contemporáneo canario (1800-1980), parten de una misma premisa: Canarias se transformó en una sociedad capitalista entre mediados del XIX y el primer cuarto del siglo XX, aspecto en el que tuvo un protagonismo destacado el capital extranjero. Aferrados a los impulsos de la influencia del comercio marítimo, de la agricultura de exportación y del trabajo asalariado en las fincas de ésta, tejieron todo un discurso argumental tendente a afirmar la cualidad capitalista de la economía y la sociedad insulares. Unos mirando hacia el interior de la sociedad isleña, otros hacia afuera, al tiempo que pasaban por alto la objetividad de las relaciones de producción precapitalistas (semifeudales) que sostenían la base económica canaria: la agricultura. [ 11] Asumiendo los planteamientos de las corrientes de pensamiento e interpretación sobre la sociedad canaria en boga en aquellos años (70-80 del pasado siglo), los autores que se acercaron al estudio de la sociedad gomera llegaron a las mismas conclusiones. En síntesis, venían a afirmar que la sociedad isleña era capitalista y que, en todo caso, podrían aparecer algunas trazas de relaciones precapitalistas que estaban subordinadas a aquel modo de producción. Si bien en muchas ocasiones señalan anacronismos en su estructura, no dejan de afirmar, por otra parte, que se trata de deformaciones, anomalías e imperfecciones propias del modo de producción capitalista. Por ese motivo, no reconocen o, incluso, niegan la semifeudalidad para buscar soluciones teóricas en las que se combinan posicionamientos a favor del triunfo del liberalismo con los derivados de las tesis del capitalismo periférico ( teoría de la dependencia), muy en boga en esas décadas. Por el contrario, ha habido otros investigadores para los que la existencia de esas relaciones precapitalistas en la etapa contemporánea de las islas respondió al fallido proceso de transformación de Canarias en una sociedad plenamente capitalista. Diversos autores han dejado constancia en sus investigaciones de la pervivencia de relaciones de producción precapitalistas (semifeudales), tanto en el terreno de las relaciones de producción y de propiedad como en su manifestación política ( caciquismo). Junto a esos análisis también se han empleado para La Gomera otros argumentos como el del determinismo ambiental o determinismo geográfico. Este enfoque estriba en otorgar al medio físico, natural, un papel destacado en la organización de la sociedad. Entiende al Hombre como un producto de su medio, como un organismo más en permanente proceso de adaptación al mismo. Convierte al medio en un factor primario, es decir, sobresaliente en la dualidad Naturaleza-Sociedad. Los autores que se apoyan en esta interpretación justifican, en mayor o menor grado, que las limitaciones y adversidades que ha sufrido la sociedad gomera a lo largo de su historia tienen como punto de partida su medio geográfico. Para ellos la pobreza del campesino gomero se debe a la abrupta topografía, a la falta de suelos o a la aridez. Y en ellas se encierran también las causas de la constante emigración de la población insular. Para esta corriente de interpretación, las relaciones horizontales y verticales en el seno de la sociedad isleña, la dialéctica social, queda mediatizada por esos condicionantes al margen de la voluntad humana. Hasta el momento, las tesis que defienden la preponderancia del capitalismo y el rigor del medio físico han sido las piedras angulares sobre las que ha girado la interpretación del proceso histórico contemporáneo gomero. Bajo ese paraguas epistemológico se llevaron a término los estudios relacionados con la historia contemporánea insular en las últimas cuatro décadas. [ 12] Los Sucesos de Hermigua Los llamados Sucesos de Hermigua tuvieron lugar el 22 de marzo de 1933 y fueron el clímax alcanzado por el empeño de los caciques gomeros por impedir cualquier tipo de organización obrera para así proteger su estatus feudal. [ 13] Desde julio de 1932, la carretera en construcción desde La Villa hacia Vallehermoso, se paralizó por presiones de los caciques de Hermigua, los Ramón Plasencia, Nicasio León, entre otros, impidieron que los obreros con sindicalización pudieran trabajar en las obras de dicha infraestructura. Lo cual significó que el 20% de la población total de Hermigua, unos 500 trabajadores, estaba en paro, de los cuales, unos 450 estaban afiliados a la Federación Obrera de Hermigua, de los que a su vez, unos 300 eran jornaleros. Por las instancias presentadas por la Federación Obrera ante el Gobierno Civil de Tenerife, este ordena que se admitan al menos a 100 trabajadores afiliados, que a su vez éstos y con la comunicación de Gobierno Civil en la mano, se presentaron a trabajar el día 19 de marzo. El capataz de la obra, siguiendo las órdenes del cacique Ramón Plasencia, se niega a admitirlos. El Gobierno Civil reitera mediante telegrama la orden los dos días sucesivos del 20 y 21 con el mismo resultado de que los 100 trabajadores se ven de nuevo rechazados y tienen que regresar al Valle Alto. El 14 de marzo de 1933 se celebra una asamblea en la Federación y se acuerda convocar una huelga general para el día 22. El seguimiento a la huelga es absoluto y los trabajadores se dirigen a la playa para allí concentrarse, recorriendo todo el Valle. El cabo Antonio Fuentes, Jefe de Puesto, intenta sin éxito disolver a uno de los grupos de obreros que pasaron de camino a la playa frente al cuartelillo de la Guardia Civil, quien incluso propina un planazo de sable al manifestante Manuel Herrera ( El Mangueras). Pero el seguimiento de la huelga es absoluto en todo el Valle y grupos cada vez más numerosos de trabajadores y sus familias se van concentrando camino hacia la playa. Con el objetivo de romper la huelga y por incitación (orden) de los caciques, el cabo Fuentes, manda a un camión de Ramón Plasencia a traer a los guardias civiles que prestaban servicio en Agulo. Los manifestantes, al paso del camión por La Castellana, intentan inmovilizarlo sin lograrlo. Al regreso del camión con los nuevos guardias civiles, a la altura del Palmarejo y sobre las dos de la tarde, se encuentran con una barrera en la carretera y los obreros con sus mujeres que les salen al paso. Según las declaraciones del sumario posterior, son las mujeres las que reprochan al cabo que haya roto, con el camión de Plasencia, la huelga general con voces como "No siga. No traiga más guardias, que solo queremos el pan de nuestros hijos". La situación se va caldeando y algunos manifestantes, hombres y mujeres, tiran piedras al camión y lo golpean con cañas. "Fue entonces cuando el comandante del puesto, inopinadamente, se echó hacia atrás, dio las voces de 'carguen' y de 'fuego' y él mismo disparó la pistola contra la multitud... Fuentes disparaba y los números iban a hacerlo y los grupos rodearon a los guardias. La muchedumbre, al querer quitar las armas al cabo y al guardia Garrote, los arroja por el barranco; el otro guardia, José Cano, que se resiste y hace uso del armamento es muerto por la multitud, que exaltada y contagiada por su propio furor, da muerte a Fuentes que yace en el barranco mientras éste y Garrote disparaban sobre los grupos". Informe en el juicio de Luis Jiménez de Asúa El guardia José Garrote de Pedro se refugia, haciendo fuego, en casa del cacique Nicasio León, mientras que el obrero Antonio Brito Brito, que subía por el talud del barranco es alcanzado por una bala que le atraviesa el corazón y muere en el acto. Otro obrero, Domingo Medina, queda herido de gravedad y varios más heridos de menos consideración. Ese mismo día 22 salió de Santa Cruz de Tenerife el Viera y Clavijo que desembarcó por el pescante a 37 guardias civiles al mando del Teniente Coronel Vara Terán a sumarse a los que ya habían acudido a Hermigua desde La Villa. Escudo de La Gomera Como resultado de los Sucesos de Hermigua, Vicente Valladolid Mesa, Manuel Avelino Perdomo Plasencia, Francisco Martín Negrín, Avelino Navarro Méndez, y Leoncio Fagundo Hernández fueron condenados a muerte. Domingo Medina Santos, el herido grave, fue condenado a 20 años, Juan Martín Hernández, Serafín Casanova Medina, Avelino Hernández Barrera y José León Piñero a 12 años. Fernando Ascanio Armas a 6 años. Antonia Gutiérrez González, Catalina Hernández Negrín y María Hernández Hernández a 3 años y Manuel Peraza Hernández a 2 años. Otros dieciséis hombres y una mujer fueron absueltos. La Ley de Amnistía del Frente Popular de febrero de 1936 los pone en libertad. Esta libertad solo durará hasta julio de 1936, momento en que comienza la Guerra Civil Española, siendo detenidos a partir de entonces todos los implicados en los "Sucesos de Hermigua". Los cinco condenados a muerte son asesinados y con ellos también José León Piñero, Domingo Rodríguez, Juan Martín Hernández, Antonio Martín Hernández, Antonio Hernández García, Manuel Casanova Medina, Jesús Chávez, Tomás Brito, Enrique Biscarria (maestro), Antonia Pineda Prieto, Fernando Ascanio y Pablo Ascanio. El Fogueo de Vallehermoso El Fogueo de Vallehermoso, fue la defensa de Vallehermoso y de la legalidad republicana por sus habitantes y por los cuatro guardias civiles y el brigada jefe de puesto de ese pueblo ante el ataque de las tropas alzadas y los falangistas de Hermigua en julio de 1936. Terminó con varios Consejos de Guerra sumarísimos y el fusilamiento el 27 de agosto de 1936 del brigada de la Guardia Civil Francisco Mas García y los dirigentes de la Federación Obrera de Vallehermoso Ramón Cabrera Bernal y Manuel Quintana Florentino y el 10 de marzo de 1937, en el Barranco del Hierro, de los también miembros de la Federación Obrera, Juan Medina Herrera, Manuel Méndez Prieto y Nicolás Prieto Ventura e indultados otros cuatro de los sentenciados a muerte. Religión La población de la isla de La Gomera profesa mayoritariamente la religión católica al igual que en el resto del archipiélago canario y del país, [ 14] también hay minorías de otras religiones. La isla forma un arciprestazgo perteneciente a la Diócesis de San Cristóbal de La Laguna, el Arciprestazgo de La Gomera. [ 15] La isla se encuentra bajo el patronazgo de la Virgen de Guadalupe [ 16] y San Sebastián, este último es también el santo patrono de la capital de la isla. Festivo insular en la isla de La Gomera es el lunes siguiente al primer sábado del mes de octubre, festividad de la Virgen de Guadalupe. [ 17] Folclore Tradiciones Pieza realizada por doña Guadalupe Niebla, en 1990, firmada: GN 1990. La Gomera es quizá una de las islas del archipiélago que mejor ha conservado ciertas tradiciones de los habitantes prehispánicos. Todavía se puede contemplar a las loceras mujeres artesanas del barro ("mazapé"), elaborando sin torno piezas alfareras, muy similares a las que utilizaban los aborígenes, ayudándose tan solo de cantos rodados y pequeños instrumentos de madera, como en el Norte de África. [ 18] El "baile del tambor" o " tajaraste " usa las mismas "chácaras" y tambores que encontraron los europeos cuando llegaron a la isla y la agitada danza que ejecutan los bailarines no ha cambiado durante siglos. Otra tradición turística es el vertiginoso salto con pértiga que realizan para desplazarse en los barrancos los gomeros más hábiles. Silbo Gomero El Silbo Gomero continúa vivo; consiste en un auténtico lenguaje silbado con el que es posible comunicarse a larga distancia de aproximadamente 3 kilómetros, utilizando sólo la boca y los dedos. Ha sido declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad. Este se imparte en las escuelas de toda la isla hasta la enseñanza secundaria obligatoria que se da con la materia de lengua castellana y literatura y solamente es para los alumnos de primero y segundo de la ESO. Celebraciones religiosas Cada cinco años se celebra la Bajada de la Virgen de Guadalupe (patrona de la isla), desde su ermita en Puntallana hasta la capital. Se la transporta en barco hasta la playa de San Sebastián donde diversas personas la acogerán y la transportaran a través de toda la isla durante dos meses. La bajada empieza el lunes siguiente al primer sábado de octubre, y tras esta peregrinación por toda la isla, la imagen regresa a su ermita. Dicho regreso coincide con el día de la onomástica de esta advocación mariana, es decir el 12 de diciembre o bien el sábado siguiente. Una vez en su templo, la imagen no vuelve a realizar esta cita lustral hasta dentro de cinco años. Esta bajada se realiza cuando los años acaban en "3" u "8". Otras fiestas religiosas destacadas se celebran en San Sebastián de La Gomera en enero en honor al patrono del municipio San Sebastián de Narbona y la de la Virgen de Candelaria en Chipude. Otras fiestas importantes son la Bajada de la Virgen de los Reyes en Valle Gran Rey y la de la Virgen del Carmen de Vallehermoso, entre otras.

I live in Tenerife. Top Notch video. 
Lo peor es que se entiende y sin saber, es como si no tuvieran consonantes, solo vocales, pero con subtítulos es fácil, de hecho es escuchar español. Best video😉, Tenerife is my next destination 👍. 
Nice video! I'm going in July for 10 days. Hoping its a good trip with my fiancée as she booked it all and I've never been so I'm trusting her! Looks like there is plenty to do so I'm really looking forward to it. Algun dia estare en gomera. 
Los Roques Viewpoint Impressive views of nature This icon of La Gomera consists of five blocks of rocked formed from magma that never reached the surface. They guard the entrance to the Garajonay National Park and their viewpoints offer superb views. Agulo La Gomera's jewel Just over half an hour's drive from the capital this little village is known as the “jewel of La Gomera”. Its old core, one of the best preserved on the island, sits up on a natural platform giving you expansive views of the ocean and of Teide volcano on next-door Tenerife island. Los Órganos Natural Monument A musical cliff This fascinating natural monument on the north coast of the Vallehermoso municipality is a volcanic sea cliff made up of vertical lava pipes that look like a giant church organ. A spectacular geological formation that has to be seen by boat trip. Valle Gran Rey The green of a landscape full of palms The mouth of this deep, verdant valley, one of La Gomera's main tourist destinations, has black sand beaches and vivid blue water and the valley is full of palm trees and little white houses.
Why go to La Gomera Serene, low-key and dramatically beautiful, La Gomera is a dream destination for travellers looking for a holiday with a difference. This is a place where hikes take in all sorts of exotic landscapes and where simple pleasures like cheese and wine feel all the more special. Formed from the remains of a volcano, the second smallest of the Canary Islands is an enigmatic place blessed with stunning natural beauty. It extends from the dark, dense forest at its heart to soaring cliffs, volcanic-carved rock formations and deserted beaches glistening with black pebbles. With some 350 hiking trails, the best way to explore this natural wonderland is on foot. Some of the most spectacular walks lie within the Garajonay National Park, the lush laurel forest at the centre of the island that is nearly always shrouded in cloud. Travel Information Average flight time (from London) 8 hrs 15 mins.
Mate. Maatttee. That is class. Watch Full La gomer. Watch Full La. Welcome to Tourism of La Gomera What not to miss in La Gomera A recommended selection of experiences to enjoy your holidays in La Gomera Places of interest in La Gomera Loading… San Sebastián de la Gomera The XIX Olympic Games in Mexico in 1968 are historically related to the island of La Gomera. A local sportsman participated in these Games and the Olympic fire visited the island, leaving the fact in the memory of the people of the island. It is the best preserved medieval fortification of the Canary Islands. Erected around 1470, but reformed in the sixteenth century, its main use was for the defense of internal rebellions of the island. Structured in three parts, the windows are loopholes from where arrows and muskets were shot. It currently holds an exhibition of historical maps of the island of La Gomera inside. Built in the sixteenth century but rebuilt in the eighteenth a magnificent sculpture of a Virgin of American origin can be found inside. Former county house around a central courtyard, inside, you can see an exhibition about the trips of Christopher Columbus to America. The legend says that the admiral took the water with which he blessed the new continent from an old well that is still preserved. XVIII century old house built around a courtyard with top runner. There is a permanent exhibition of pre-Columbian sculpture of great interest inside. The legend says that Christopher Columbus was here, but it is something that no documentation can confirm. Built in stages, dating back to a small shrine of mud and stones from the fifteenth century. We must highlight the first building façade; its origin goes back to Portugal and is called “Manueline” style, with ogee archs and ropes intertwined. In the eighteenth century it was enlarged with two aisles. There is a museum of religious art inside, where we must highlight the artwork from the sixteenth to the nineteenth. Of special interest is the chapel of El Pilar, with its mural painting alluding to the battle against the English pirate Charles Windham in 1753. Imposing sculpture of colossal dimensions overlooking one of the flanks of the ravine of La Concepción all San Sebastian. Built in the 1960 and dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, is one of the most famous viewpoints from which to observe the island’s capital. Located in the hamlet of Tejiade, is one of the least known shrines of the island of La Gomera. Founded in 1719 by Jose Rodriguez, a neighbor of Agulo, dweller in the southern lands. We must highlight inside the size of the image of San Jose, anonymous work of the eighteenth century. Founded around 1535 by order of the first Count of La Gomera, Don Guillen, this chapel reflects the Portuguese influence in architecture, as seen in the capitals of the columns of the arch leading to the chapel. The image of the saint of the municipality is a carving of the eighteenth century. We must highlight the keystone of the arch of the entrance, with a relief of the arrows alluding to the martyrdom of the holy Roman. Monument erected at the foot of Agando Roque, witness of one of the most voracious fires of the island. The names of the deceased are preserved in a plaque for their memory. Located in the Jerdune area, on the south plain of the grain village, the hermitage was founded in the sixteenth century by order of the Count and you can see inside pieces of remarkable interest, such as the Virgin of Light, a Flemish carving of around 1530. Today it is also a popular recreational area. Located under the Roque Agando, Benchijigua was historically the land of the Count. It is currently known for its traditional architecture and for being a main stop of the island’s paths network. 36º FESTIVAL DE MÚSICA DE CANARIAS: ORQUESTA DE CÁMARA RUSA DE SAN PETERSBURGO EN VALLE GRAN REY DE SAN La Orquesta de Cámara Rusa de San Petersburgo, fundada en 1990 por músicos graduados del renombrado Conservatorio Rimsky-Korsakov de San Petersburgo, es sin duda uno de los embajadores musicales más importantes de su país.

Casa de la Cultura de Valle Gran Rey Precio: Precio único: 30€ Entradas: Discover the trees and shrubs of the laurel forests on La Gomera What is a laurel forest? It is a subtropical forest which is characteristic of some of the Macaronesian archipelago (the Canaries, Madeira and the Azores). Although its name comes from the Latin lauri+silva, “forest of laurels”, in reality it consists of many more species. On La Gomera, you will find possibly the best representation of this type of ecosystem, and because of this, it was designated as a National Park in 1981 and a Unesco World Heritage Site in 1986. Do you want to pretend to be a botanist in Garajonay? The challenge consists of identifying as many tree species as you can find in Garajonay. How will you do this? Firstly, try to identify the leaves of the trees and shrubs with the help of the key that we have provided in this small guide, and then check on the Arbolapp Canarias app for identifying trees, which you can upload to your mobile. Shall we begin? This is the app that you can upload: You will find much more information in the visitors guide to the Garajonay National Park which you can upload from the following website: Read More Suggestions for enjoying and discovering the birds of La Gomera 1) You should know that there are two endemic birds on La Gomera that are very sought after by bird watchers: the Laurel Pigeon and Bolle’s Pigeon. As they are rather difficult to see, they have become an interesting challenge, for which we recommend that you familiarise yourself with their images and identify their distinguishing features beforehand. 2) the recommended time of day to observe these birds is at first light, which is when they are most active, also at dusk, when they return to their roosting sites. That is generally when you can enjoy their song. 3) What you should carry in your backpack. What do the experts carry? A field guide to birds with good photographs, binoculars (at least one pair per two or three persons), note book (to note observations and draw the birds found on your outing), discrete-coloured clothing (brown, green and black) which will provide camouflage, camera, preferably with a high zoom lens, recorder to record bird song (for beginners, current mobile phones offer this option and provide very good quality recordings) and lastly, food and drink, it is very important to have water, particularly during hot weather. 4) Some interesting information for choosing binoculars: […] Vallehermoso and its southern side This part of the island shows us its charm through its hamlets, neighbourhoods, forest and beaches where the sun is the protagonist. Its more than 300 days of sunshine guarantee the climate you always wish for to be able to enjoy a truly unforgettable holiday. The area invites you to discover it by foot, car, bike or boat trips and allows you to do all sorts of outdoor activities. If you come from the north in a south easterly direction, once you cross the park, you will find yourself on the other side of the municipality, with scenery that changes as much as the temperature and the humidity in the area. Today we will tell you about Chipude, La Dama and La Rajita. Chipude The farm terraces welcome us to this picturesque village, some of them with grapes which are used to make wines full of personality. La Fortaleza Natural Monument (link) guards the area with its towering walls and holy past. Its flat summit houses archaeological ruins and its flora includes protected and endangered species. The name “fortaleza” describes all of the elevations of land with the highest, flattest part rising above its surroundings, dominating it. Numerous trails cover […] Family Tourism The charming island, an ideal place to visit with children Charmed by its inhabitants, charmed by its visitors, charmed by the privileged climate unique to the Canary Islands, charmed by the trade winds… Visiting La Gomera with family allows us to feel that charming characteristic enveloping what we really love. The little ones and not so little ones immediately become stars of the most entertaining and mysterious stories you can imagine. This is because La Gomera has that still-preserved charm of being a healthy land, with untouched landscapes, clean air, intense scents of the sea and forest, everything that allows us to feel pampered in an unbeatable environment. Our proposal is an intimate encounter with nature, starting at the Garajonay National Park. There are plenty of trails to stroll along with children and that have different degrees of difficulty. From the smallest children to the most intrepid, they all have their own specially prepared route. Telling them the story of Gara and Jonay before visiting the Park already prepares them to enjoy it to the fullest. As soon as they begin to see the first trees (if they are lucky enough to see the sea of clouds, they will understand […] For whoever is visiting La Gomera for the first time You have arrived at La Gomera only have one day to enjoy it! Surely you will find it a short amount of time, indeed it is so! La Gomera is an island that has an impact on everyone, whoever visits it for the first time, wants to go back. La Gomera conquers from the very first like love at first sight. The Garajonay National Park is without a doubt a must. You will probably first see it from a scenic view point or from the the Great Lagoon (Laguna Grande). There, you will be able to catch a glimpse of the greatness and lushness of this exceptional forest; but the real way of enjoying and appreciating it would be to enter its trails. There are pathways available for all likings. Among them, one can find short, rather even pathways, as well as, challenging trails surrounded by scenery of extraordionary beauty. It is very probable that during your first visit you rush through some of the villages of the island. However, one would need to spend some peaceful time there in order to be able to get to know the place well. Each village has it’s own uniqueness […] El Cedro – a fairytale forest A continuous flow of water accompanies the hiker who enters this area of the park. There are just a few places in the Canary Islands that have a stream with natural pools, and El Cedro is possibly the best example of it. Here every drop that runs through this channel has its story and not just any story, it carries with it a journey through the clouds, which are drawn by the trade winds to meet the slopes of the north side of the island, to finally hit trees that act like sponges. This incredible phenomenon is known as the “horizontal rain” and is responsible for nourish and nurture the riverbed of this stream with each drop coming from so far away. Knowing its story, the hiker appreciates if possible, even more, the visual beauty that the water leaves along his footsteps. Here, the whole landscape forms a stage where nature becomes the protagonist to show everyone its charm and beauty. The enormous and well-preserved specimens of heathers, beeches, hollies, Indian bay and Portuguese laurel are often covered with moss and lichens that further emphasize their enigmatic beauty. The ferns which are great in size and a deep green […] Read More.

With an area of 370 square kilometres (140 sq mi), it is the third smallest of the eight main islands of this archipelago. It belongs to the province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. La Gomera is the third least populous of the eight main Canary Islands with 21, 136 inhabitants. [2] Its capital is San Sebastián de La Gomera, where the cabildo insular (island council) is located. Political organisation [ edit] La Gomera is part of the province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. It is divided into six municipalities: Name Area (km 2) Population (2001) [3] Population (2011) [4] Population (2018) [5] Agulo 25. 36 1, 127 1, 148 1, 067 Alajeró 49. 43 1, 465 2, 005 2, 006 Hermigua 39. 67 2, 038 2, 076 1, 805 San Sebastián de la Gomera 113. 59 6, 618 8, 943 8, 945 Valle Gran Rey 32. 36 4, 239 4, 547 4, 484 Vallehermoso 109. 32 2, 798 2, 961 2, 829 Totals 370. 03 18, 285 21, 680 21, 138 The island government ( cabildo insular) is located in the capital, San Sebastián. Geography [ edit] The island is of volcanic origin and roughly circular; it is about 22 kilometres (14 miles) in diameter. The island is very mountainous and steeply sloping and rises to 1, 487 metres (4, 879 ft) at the island's highest peak, Alto de Garajonay. Its shape is rather like an orange that has been cut in half and then split into segments, which has left deep ravines or barrancos between them. Ecology [ edit] The uppermost slopes of these barrancos, in turn, are covered by the laurisilva - or laurel rain forest, where up to 50 inches of precipitation fall each year. The upper reaches of this densely wooded region are almost permanently shrouded in clouds and mist, and as a result are covered in lush and diverse vegetation: they form the protected environment of Spain's Garajonay National Park, which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1986. The slopes are criss-crossed by paths that present varying levels of difficulty to visitors, and stunning views to seasoned hikers. The central mountains catch the moisture from the trade wind clouds and yield a dense jungle climate in the cooler air, which contrasts with the warmer, sun-baked cliffs near sea level. Between these extremes one finds a fascinating gamut of microclimates; for centuries, the inhabitants of La Gomera have farmed the lower levels by channelling runoff water to irrigate their vineyards, orchards and banana groves. Natural symbols [ edit] The official natural symbols associated with La Gomera are Columba junoniae (Paloma rabiche) and Persea indica (Viñátigo). [6] Culture [ edit] The local wine is distinctive and often accompanied with a tapa (snack) of local cheese, roasted pork, or goat meat. Other culinary specialities include almogrote, a cheese spread, miel de palma, a syrup extracted from palm trees, and "escaldón", a porridge made with gofio flour. The inhabitants of La Gomera have an ancient way of communicating across deep ravines by means of a whistled speech called Silbo Gomero, which can be heard 2 miles away. [7] This whistled language is indigenous to the island, and its existence has been documented since Roman times. Invented by the original inhabitants of the island, the Guanches, Silbo Gomero was adopted by the Spanish settlers in the 16th century and survived after the Guanches were entirely assimilated. [7] When this means of communication was threatened with extinction at the dawn of the 21st century, the local government required all children to learn it in school. Marcial Morera, a linguist at the University of La Laguna has said that the study of silbo may help understand how languages are formed. [7] In the mountains of La Gomera, its original inhabitants worshipped their god, whom they called Orahan; the summit and centre of the island served as their grand sanctuary. Indeed, many of the natives took refuge in this sacred territory in 1489, as they faced imminent defeat at the hands of the Spaniards, and it was here that the conquest of La Gomera was drawn to a close. Modern-day archaeologists have found several ceremonial stone constructions here that appear to represent sacrificial altar stones, slate hollows, or cavities. It was here that the Guanches built pyres upon which to make offerings of goats and sheep to their god. This same god, Orahan, was known on La Palma as Abora and on Tenerife and Gran Canaria as Arocan. The Guanches also interred their dead in caves. Today, saints, who are worshipped through village festivals, are principally connected with Christianity. But in some aspects, the Guanches’ god-like idealising of Gomeran uniqueness plays a role as well besides their pre-Christian and pre-colonial implication and shows strong local differences. [8] Christopher Columbus made La Gomera his last port of call before crossing the Atlantic in 1492 with his three ships. He stopped here to replenish his crew's food and water supplies, intending to stay only four days. Beatriz de Bobadilla y Ossorio, the Countess of La Gomera and widow of Hernán Peraza the Younger, offered him vital support in preparations of the fleet, and he ended up staying one month. When he finally set sail on 6 September 1492, she gave him cuttings of sugarcane, which became the first to reach the New World. After his first voyage of Discovery, Columbus again provisioned his ships at the port of San Sebastián de La Gomera in 1493 on his second voyage to the New World, commanding a fleet of 17 vessels. He visited La Gomera for the last time in 1498 on his third voyage to the Americas. The house in San Sebastián in which he is reputed to have stayed is now a tourist attraction. Genetics [ edit] An autosomal study in 2011 found an average Northwest African influence of about 17% in Canary Islanders with a wide interindividual variation ranging from 0% to 96%. According to the authors, the substantial Northwest African ancestry found for Canary Islanders supports that, despite the aggressive conquest by the Spanish in the 15th century and the subsequent immigration, genetic footprints of the first settlers of the Canary Islands persist in the current inhabitants. Parallelling mtDNA findings (50. 1% of U6 and 10. 83% of L haplogroups), [9] the largest average Northwest African contribution (42. 50%) was found for the samples from La Gomera. [10] According to Flores et al. (2003), genetic drift could be responsible for the contrasting difference in Northwest African ancestry detected with maternal (51% of Northwest African lineages) and paternal markers (0. 3–10% of Northwest African lineages) in La Gomera. Alternatively, it could reflect the dramatic way the island was conquered, producing the strongest sexual asymmetry in the archipelago. [11] Festivals [ edit] The festival of the Virgin of Guadalupe, patron saint of the island, is the Monday following the first Saturday of October. Every five years (most recently in 2013) is celebrated the Bajada de la Virgen de Guadalupe (the Bringing the Virgin) from her hermitage in Puntallana to the capital. She is brought by boat to the beach of San Sebastián de La Gomera, where several people host her, and transported throughout the island for two months.

I love Fuerteventura. Raz jeszcze chciałam powrócić do mojego wyjazdu na Wyspy Kanaryjskie w grudniu. Tam kryje się piękno i magia. Zapraszam do oglądania. OMG this is amazing. I love it <3 now I know where to go in March for holidays. Great video! what a wonderful place to live! once again thanks for sharing your video. The promotion of this movie as a comedy really does it a disservice. In reality, it's very twisty, complex neo-noir, which is fine. I was attracted to the film partly because I had heard it was funny, but it isn't (although there is a little bit of wry/cynical humor. Misrepresenting a movie's genre sets it up to fail with viewers, who go in expecting something different.
If you do like neo-noir crime dramas with a lot of references to past classic films (both Romanian and American) this is definitely one to check out. It has a great soundtrack as well.
Geistloses Videogeschnipsel, sowas kann man für sich behalten, aber heute glaubt ja jeder der ein Smartphone halten kann, er muß seinen Amateurmist auch veröffentlichen. Macht was Sinnvolles, geht Plastikmüll sammeln, aber den seht ihr ja nicht ! 😢😢.
Another wonderful vid. That paddle board was a nice gift,eh? Malin looks like a real pro with that one. INFLATABLE wow they sure have come a long way with inflatables. Some HELLA great drone shots, that one clip where you approached that rock tower, then right after when you did a close up of the rock tower and panned up those were just stunning. Maerchenhaft, bezaubernd. Leben und Sterben auf La Gomera. Cristi is a middle aged undercover police officer with mommy issues who is trying to find the location of some stolen money. So he goes to a remote island to learn a whistling language that will allow him to communicate with the criminals from a distance. There he rekindles a relationship with his old flame and his priorities change. As both the criminals and his colleagues are onto Cristi what choices will he make to come out clean of his predicament? A clever game of cops and robbers ensues.
Summing up this multi layered, not always coherent plot, is not an easy task. THE WHISTLERS takes a long time to get going but it's many elements come together building up to something special. Heavy on movie references it is heavily inspired by Tarantino movies, although the style of the cinematography is rather dull.
The script on paper must look great, but this is the case where a writer should let go of his work and let someone else direct. Cornelliu Porumboiu helmed 13 films but seems to be still searching for his directing style. While all the cast do their job well, the motives of their characters for the majority of the film are obscure to say the least.
But if this is the originality you are looking for THE WHISTLERS is for you. With good timing and a genuine sense of wit it is a rewarding experience for those who will stick with it until the end.
I have visited many times, so many happy memories. There are many beautiful treasures to see on Tenerife. Got the rest of the world to see now. Cheers. This movie looks so bad but so good. It is either going to be terrible or brilliant. There is no in between. Also auf „The French Dispatch“ und „Swallow“ hab ich RICHTIG Bock. 1 - The Wildest One La Gomera and El Hierro (behind) as seen from Roques del Cedro on Tenerife. La Gomera, the next to smallest island of the Canaries, has been called the wildest of them all. Though its highpoint doesn’t quite reach 1500m, though it is an anticlimax as highpoints go, though there is only one real mountaineering objective, La Fortaleza de Chipude, the island surely deserves the description. It is a veritable hikers’ paradise offering hikes and scrambles of all lengths aspects and difficulties. And you can barely go wrong as the important routes have been marked extensively. La Gomera’s wild aspect is caused by its geologic history, the first half of which was dominated by volcanism. La Gomera was created 12 million years ago by cleft volcanism where the magma is emitted along long fissures in the ground. Along with the magma huge amounts of cinder and ash were also emitted forming the near circular shape of the island. Gradually, however, volcanism stopped and for the last 2 million years there has been no eruption at all on the island. This is when erosion took over in forming the landscape and thanks to large amounts of rainfall over the millennia it is estimated that today already half of the bulk of the island has been washed away to the sea. Erosion formed large canyons, the barrancos of La Gomera, which run from the centre of the island to its outskirts. In the north, where volcanism stopped earlier the barrancos have become rather wide while the ridges in between, the lomos, have become knife-edge like in character. In the south these ridges are rather broad and mesa like with very narrow barrancos, bounded by near vertical walls. Today there are about 50 barrancos heading out from the island’s centre to the sea. Every here and there – rather often in fact – you come across the remains of the magma emitting fissures, in which magma has cooled down to form large solid blocks off basalt. These structures tend to stand alone above the washed out barrancos, offering very impressive views and very wild aspects. The Techeleche mountains in the west of La Gomera are a good example of these kind of volcanic structures. Last – but in no way least – La Gomera is home to half a dozen rock towers, former volcanic plugs, where lava was funnelled to the top of the volcanoes. Most of them are located at the south-western boundary of the Parque Nacional de Garajonay, La Gomera’s largest national park (see below) and rise out of the cloud forest like giant cones. Near Hemigua and Vallehermoso in the north as well as Imada and Benchijigua in the south there are more of these towers, all looking very wild and inaccessible. As said above, La Gomera is perfect for hikers. In the 16th and 17th centuries Gomerans created Caminos and Mulaterias between the villages in the mountains and at sea levels. In the last years these Caminos have been revised and marked. Often they take the direct route between the two endpoints regardless of the terrain so that you find yourself climbing up an improbable vertical wall on an exposed ledge-like and switch backing trail. There is a veritable web of these paths, connecting to any interesting point. Moreover there are two trekking trails, GR131 and GR132. The former climbs across the central mountain range, connecting San Sebastian in the east with Vallehermoso in the west while the latter circles the island high above the coast. GR131 takes 2 to 3 days to complete, GR 132 5 to 8 days. 2 - La Gomera on SP Interactive Overview Map of La Gomera La Gomera cannot easily be divided in different mountain ranges. There is the central highland around Garajonay, the island’s highpoint but not much more. The remaining mountains of the island are located on the ridges between the various barrancos. Therefore generally the island is divided by the directions of the compass. I added two additional regions, the central highland in the Parque Nacional de Garajonay and the greater region of Valle Gran Rey in the south-west of the island. All are described in the following sections and mountain pages will be added to the appropriate sections as they appear on SP. Parque Nacional de Garajonay Garajonay Los Roques The East Altos de Uteza Jaragan The South Barranco Juan de Vera Valle Gran Rey La Fortaleza de Chipude Lomo de Harinero Tequergenche La Merica The North-West Tejeleche The North Lomo Gordo 3 - Parque Nacional de Garajonay Garajonay as seen from La Fortaleza The centre of the island of La Gomera is dominated by the north-western trade winds. The humid air, being forced to rise above the mountainous centre of the island condenses and often forms dense clouds which cover the mountain tops, especially in the north. This cloud cover creates the conditions for one of the rarest types of forests on earth, the Canarian laurisilva or laurel forest. All of the Canarian islands that exceed 1000m in elevation have their laurisilva patches but none as large as La Gomera. More than 10% of the island’s area (4000ha from 369square km) are covered by this dense cloud forest, offering a habitat for a large variety of endemic plants and animals (mainly birds). The whole area has been set aside as a national park, the Parque Nacional de Garajonay, which itself has been declared World Heritage Site by UNESCO. It is a strange kind of forest. The trees rarely exceed 20m in height, nevertheless inside it is as dark as a forest can be. The trees are covered with lichen and moss, often sporting beards of several metres length. Thanks to the wet conditions the turf is very slippery and descending one of the hill-like summits can become nightmarish. You should not leave the roads, paths and trails since it is easy to get lost inside the laurisilva. The park management has created a network of marked trails which connect the major points of interest within the forest. Though the park contains all summits above 1300m on the island it nevertheless is of no mountaineering importance. The summits are all hill-like and tree covered and solely Garajonay, La Gomera’s highpoint is of some interest. Some of the other peaks can also be climbed but apart from Alto de Igualero, the antenna decorated neighbour of Garajonay none are. Roque de Agando Right outside the park – in its south-east you can find another small park, the Monumento Natural de Los Roques. Here three impressive towers, former volcanic plugs remain standing, Roque de Agando, Roque de la Zarcita and Roque de Ojila. All three used to be climbing destinations in the past (especially Roque de Agando with some 200m long, UIAA IV and V graded routes) but with the advent of the UNESCO World Heritage Site they have been declared off limits. Within the laurisilva forest the Roques are the main tourist destination. The road from San Sebastian to Valle Gran Rey passes in their midst and several miradores have been established to offer good views for the crowds. 4 - The East Tenerife above the eastern part of La Gomera The eastern part of the island can be defined as the area east of the Hermigua Valley in the north and the wild Barranco Juan de Vera in the south. It is one of the most inhabited areas on the island since the capital, San Sebastian de La Gomera is at its centre. About xxxx of La Gomera’s xxxxx inhabitants live in the greater San Sebastian area and consequently you have to account for a lot of “civilization out east. Nevertheless the region contains one of the most inaccessible mountain ranges on La Gomera, the Cumbre de Carbonara, which bounds the Hermigua Valley to the east. It’s highest mountain, Enchereda, has been closed to hiking for environmental reasons and thus only on hiking trail crosses the range at Degollada de la Cumbre right above the Hermigua – San Sebastian road. The Cumbre Carbonara is a long wooded ridge, running from the centre of the island to the north and sporting impressive faces on its western side. Apart from Cumbre Carbonara you can find several other long ridges, which separate frofound Barrancos. The best known is the one running from Degollada de la Cumbre to San Sebastian, where you can find several hiking destinations like Altos de Uteca, Montaña Ismael or Jaragan, all of which are nicely visible from the island capital. The southern boundary, Barranco Juan de Vera, is one of the wildest of the whole island. Bounded by two rock-studded ridges it also contains many lava walls, proofs of the fissures with formerly emitted the lava, which created the island. The rock structures along the ridges are all made up from beautiful solid basalt pillars and if it weren’t for the long access routes would make for perfect climbing venues. The private holiday resort El Cabrito at its mouth, however, amounts to an anticlimax of that beautiful canyon. 5 - The South Pico Gomero and Roque del Sombrero The south of La Gomera, between Barranco Juan de Vera in the east and Barranco de la Rajita in the west is of the least mountaineering interest of all the regions on the island. Like all other regions it contains its share of Barrancos but thanks to the towns of Playa de Santiago (and its airport) and Alajero, the region’s capital, it is home to a lot of purely touristic attractions like a Golf Course or the only old Drago tree of La Gomera. The exception from this rule is Barranco de Benjichigua, which leads up to the island’s centre with Roque de Agando at its end. There is a nice loop hiking trail from The Carreta del Centro to Imada, Benchijigua, Roque Agando and back, one of the most exceptional routes on the island. After the closure of Los Roques for climbing, Roque de Imada, a tower of secondary importance is one of the last remaining climbing objects on the island. Thanks to the lack of rain in the south of La Gomera the region is the main area of retreat in case of foggy weather in the north and centre. It offers long hiking routes, which, however, lack the beauty of some of the routes in the other regions. The area is simply too arid to be attractive. 6 - Valle Gran Rey High above the mouth of Valle Gran Rey Valle Gran Rey, the Valley of the Great King, is the main touristic spot on La Gomera. Mainly German tourists spend their vacation here, choosing between the beaches and the impressive hikes and scrambles along the bounding Mesas of the valley. The region encompasses all the area between Barranco de la Rajita in the east and the Taguluche Valley in the west and is home to the sole mountaineering destinantion on the island, La Fortaleza de Chipude. La Fortaleza is a circular table-top mountain formed out of solid red basalt towering high above the Baranco de Earque with its red east face. The normal ascent, formerly a UIAA I / II affair has been degraded into an exposed scramble thanks to steps which have been hewn out of the north-eastern chimney route. Apart from La Fortaleza there are two very interesting Mesas – the ones which form the boundaries of Valle Gran Rey. To the west there is a high ridge, starting at Arure in the north and ending directly above the Valle Gran Rey beaches. La Merica, as it is called was used as cattle grazing ground in former years but now is left to the many hikers who want to follow the ridge and descend to the coast. La Merica is 855m high and climbing the switchbacks of the camino which leads to its top from Valle Gran Rey is quit challenging especially on sunny days. It’s advisable to start very early in the morning. To the east of Valle Gran Rey there is another set of mesa like summits, Lomo de Harinero, Montana de Adivino, Lomo de Las Pilas and Tequergenche, the latter standing 600m high above the port of Vueltas. Like La Merica on the other side of the Valle the summits in the east are very panoramic but made up from very brittle rock. Unlike La Merica there are barrancos which separate the summits and personal experience shows that crossing one of these can turn out to be a very dangerous affair. To the east of Tequergenche there is Barranco de Araga, a short but profound canyon, which is the most difficult route to the Tequergenche summit. After passing the buildings at the mouth of the barranco the route turns into a veritable dance across ledges and through chimneys before the canyon turns into a palm studded valley in its upper part. All in all it is probably one of the most difficult hiking routes on the island. 7 - The North-West The Techeleche Range as seen from the ascent to Lomo de Carrreton To the north La Merica suddenly drops off into Barranco de Taguluche, one of the most beautiful settings on La Gomera. This profound barranco is bounded by impressive walls on three sides and open only to the sea through a narrow mouth. In addition to the La Merica north face in the south of the barranco, Lomo de Carreton, a broad backed ridge bounds the valley to the east with beautiful reddish basalt walls. But the show of the valley is the small Techeleche Range, probably the wildest range on the island. It is one of the youngest parts of La Gomera but also lots of its substance has eroded into the sea. Thus you find a wonderful setting of towers which rise out of the sea for up to 600m. In between a lot of lava walls bear witness to the history of the area – long fissures which emitted the brittle substance of the range. To its north – across Barranco del Mono - the north-western part of La Gomera turns less wild. However, the coast is inaccessible for most of the region, only at Ajolera and Arguamul two roads get close to the sea. The region is separated by a long, broad and tree-covered ridge by the Valley of Vallehermoso, a popular hiking destination thanks to the easy roads and perfect views in the area. On a good day Tenerife and La Palma can bee seen from the ridge, which reaches its highpoints at some 900m at Montaña de la Puntilla and Montaña de la Caldera. 8 - The North Lomo Gordo in the north of La Gomera The north of La Gomera, like the south, is of little mountaineering importance. It stretches between the valleys of Vallehermoso to the west and Hermigua to the east. The coast itself is inaccessible for most part and the Carretera del Norte, the winding main road in the north of the island takes up much space in the countryside behind. Near Vallehermoso, several interesting Rock formations can be found, the most impressive of which is Roque El Cano, which towers high above the little town in the north. Another interesting destination is Lomo Gordo, a broad backed Mesa, which separates the Hermigua Valley from the Agulo. Though the top of the lomo can be reached by car from the centre of the island it has two interesting ascent routes and probably the best view of Tenerife you can get on La Gomera. From the Hermigua side in the east a camino climbs a spur of Lomo Gordo, sometimes breathtakingly exposed but never really difficult. From Agulo another camino winds its way through the Red Wall, a vertical basalt wall right above the little town. Last but not least one should mention Los Gemenos, the twin rocks at El Estanquillo, two former volcanic plugs which tower above the Hermigua Valley. Unlike the other rocks on the island Los Gemenos have not been placed inside a natural monument and thus are easily accessible. However, the hamlet El Estanquillo surrounds the rocks with houses right up to their bases. 9 - Traffic and Accommodation The small Canarian islands, La Gomera and El Hiero, can only be reached by a relayed flight schedule or by using one of the ferries from Tenerife or La Palma. Both islands have regional airports which are only served by the local carrier. Moreover weather often is unstable at the airports that flights can be delayed of are cancelled altogether. As for ferries – still the regular mode of travelling – you can choose among different carriers and different starting harbours. Generally travel offices will book the whole itinerary from your home airport to the hotel or apartment complex. It will include the flight to Tenerife south, bus transfer to the harbour (Los Christianos), ferry transfer to La Gomera or El Hierro, and the bus transfer to the hotel. As for accommodation, you can rent hotel rooms and apartments from any travel office in Europe (overseas might be a bit more difficult). Many of the large companies have their own web sites so that you might look them up there as well. For fincas you can try to contact locals from a web based search – many expatriates offer their own houses for use by tourists. It takes a bit of research on the web however. Make sure you book a flight before you book the apartment, especially over the Christmas or Easter holidays. Flights are always sold out during these times. Local transport is available by bus. There are bus lines between the major towns on the islands. Since there are only a handful of regional roads this amounts to a thorough network and you’ll be able to reach anywhere on the island, especially if you are prepared to hike a bit. Make sure that you know the schedule, however. Some lines are served only once or twice a day. Therefore renting a car might be advisable after all. You can rent small cars in any of the tourist resorts as well as from the harbours or airports. Prices are somewhat lower than in continental Europe though still quite high. Also without a hotel address the car rental companies tend to give you run-down cars. 10 - Red Tape Dragonfly near Benchijigua La Gomera is a veritable patchwork of national, regional, local and natural parks. Apart from the Laurisilva in the Parque Nacional de Garajonay the park rules are not overly restrictive. Local farmers tend to let their sheep and goats graze in the areas so that there is always a passage through the parks. Of course, no plants may be collected and the few Gomeran animals should not be disturbed. The Garajonay Park additionally has the restriction that noone is allowed to camp in its limit and that open fire is only allowed in the designated areas. Also, since it has been declared world heritage site, climbing is not allowed on the Roques at its south-eastern boundary. 11 - Weather Conditions Trade wind clouds There are few sites on the web, which deal with the weather for La Gomera. The island just is not very popular with the tourist crowd. The ones you can find are for San Sebastian. The following table gives a rough general overview over the weather on La Gomera, at sea level. Month Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Avg. day temp. [°C / °F] 20 / 68 21 / 70 22 / 72 23 / 73 25 / 77 27 / 81 29 / 84 Avg. night temp. [°C / °F] 15 / 59 16 / 61 18 / 64 17 / 63 Water temp. [°C / °F] 19 / 66 Rainy days 11 8 6 5 2 1 0 The Canarian Islands (as well as Madeira) are located in the trade wind zone. You almost always encounter northeastern winds which carry a lot of humid air. Being forced to climb to higher altitudes this moisture condenses into clouds. This in return means that most of the time the northeastern part of the islands is covered in clouds from altitudes of 1000m through 1500m. The mountainous region in the centre of the island is of the same alltitude and thus stops the clouds. While the northern parts of the islands can be foggy and rainy the southern parts most often are sunny and hot. On La Gomera the centre of the island collects almost all moisture in a big cloud forest, the laurisilva. It is the largest consecutive cloud forest on any of the Canarian islands and has been declared world heritage site. 12 - Maps & Books 12. 1 – Maps Obviously there are no decent hiking maps of the island. It appears that in some regions the topographical data differs from the reality on the ground so that three different map sets can show three different sets data while the reality is different again. For hiking purposes the following map is adaequate though not perfect.

One of the seven Canary Islands, sun-drenched Gomera is one of the less visited of this Atlantic archipelago. Offering the perfect escape, Gomera's attractions include dramatic beaches, trails through tropical mountain scenery and misty rainforest. Hike the mysterious Garajonay National Park or mountainous Cumbre de Chijere. Soak up the sun in scenic Valle Gran Rey or on Puerto de Santiago's pretty beach. Popular with the yachting crowd, Gomera is reached by air or ferry from the other Canaries.
