Archaeology museum on the pre-Hispanic culture of La Gomera.
Mirador de TajaquƩ is a roadside viewpoint on the GM-2, within the municipal district of San SebastiƔn de la Gomera, on the island of La Gomera. The island council describes that road as the route linking San SebastiƔn with the Degollada de Peraza, giving access to the southern municipalities of the island, to the airport and to the Garajonay National Park.
Road pass and viewpoint in San SebastiƔn de La Gomera, overlooking the Barranco de La Laja and the southern valleys, with the Teide visible on clear days. It closes the first stage of the GR-131.
15th-century fortress in central San SebastiƔn, now a hall with historical maps of the island.
A roadside balcony above the ravine that drops from the summits towards San SebastiĆ”n de La Gomera, right beside the GM-1 at the mouth of the Aguajilva tunnels, around kilometre 7.5. From the railing four reservoirs line up along the valley floor (Llano de la Villa, Chejelipes, IzcagĆ¼e and Palacios), with the hamlets of Lomito Fragoso, Honduras and Chejelipes on the slopes. There is no car park of its own: you pull into the lay-by and walk a minute.
A viewpoint at around 620 metres above San SebastiƔn de La Gomera, on the road that leaves the capital towards the south of the island. From the platform you look over much of the town and its harbour, the ravine dropping to the sea and, on the horizon, the outline of Teide on Tenerife. There is parking and a recreation area at the viewpoint itself. The clearest panoramas come on days without calima haze.
A viewpoint on the GM-2 road, on the stretch that crosses the surroundings of Garajonay National Park, facing the group of rock towers formed by Agando, Ojila, La Zarcita and Carmona. These are solidified volcanic conduits left standing once erosion carried away the softer material around them, and from here they line up one behind the other. The stop is a roadside one and takes only a few minutes. Trade wind cloud can cover the rocks within minutes, so an early view is usually the clearest.
Church with 15th-century origins where, by tradition, Columbus prayed before setting sail for the Americas.
A lookout over the bay of San SebastiƔn de La Gomera, in the island capital, with parking, public transport and places to eat in the surroundings. The calm of the bay spread out below is deceptive: in the past, and far too often, the people of the town had to learn to watch the sea with fear, because that was the direction the raids of pirates and corsairs came from. The same bay is where the ships of Christopher Columbus put in.
Urban dark-sand beach with calm waters in the bay of San SebastiƔn, sheltered and family-friendly.
Small dark-sand cove with usually calm waters, next to the old town of San SebastiƔn de La Gomera.
