Attractions in the Canary Islands: Guide & Directory

Mirador de La Punta

The Mirador de La Punta looks over the valley of Hermigua from the GM-1 road, roughly halfway between Hermigua and Agulo. Below lie Playa de Santa Catalina, the pillars of the old loading crane and a carpet of banana plantations climbing the terraces. Montaña del Hueco and the headland of Hermigua close the background, and across the water Tenerife appears with Teide on a clear day.

Pescante de Hermigua

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.
