Casa Efigenia
Traditional, vegetarian home-cooking house in Las Hayas (La Gomera), Dona Efigenia's table.
In the hamlet of Las Hayas, next to the Garajonay National Park, Casa Efigenia has been feeding people and sharing conversation for more than half a century. Dona Efigenia Borges made famous a traditional Gomeran cuisine, homemade and naturally vegetarian, made with what the land gives: stews, cheese with its sauces, gofio escaldon, almogrote. La Gomera has no guachinches, but it does have home-cooking houses like this, where the recipe passes from one generation to the next. A classic for slowing down and eating for real.
