Archaeology museum on the pre-Hispanic culture of La Gomera.
A centre devoted to traditional Gomeran pottery, right in the middle of the village of El Cercado, in the Chipude area. On La Gomera the ware is still made as it was centuries ago, by hand and without a wheel, and that is precisely the craft explained here. The tour covers every stage, from gathering the raw clay to firing in wood burning kilns, using interactive panels, pieces at different stages and explanatory videos.
Interpretation centre devoted to palm honey and guarapo, in the hamlet of Aldama in Alojera, Vallehermoso. It explains how sap is tapped from the Canary palm and reduced down into miel de palma, a craft still practised on La Gomera. The visit combines a self-guided trail through the palm grove with a guided tour of the centre, and the product can be tasted.
The four concrete pillars of the old loading crane of Hermigua, finished in 1908, still stand at the water's edge on the north coast of La Gomera. It is the most photographed sight of this shoreline and today works as a monument. Beside it the sea fills a natural pool among the rocks; this is not a sandy beach.
Open-air ethnographic museum in Hermigua with the island's largest private collection, an ecological farm and a closing tasting of local Gomeran products.
