Nuestra Señora de Lourdes Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

A multilingual sign explains the founding story:

"On a Sunday in August 1935, the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes was founded. The fact that we have a sanctuary in El Cedro is thanks to an English lady named Florence Stephan Parry. Mrs. Stephan, or Dona Florencia, as she was also known, came to La Gemora to teach the children of Mario Novaro Parodi, an Italian who had married into an Italian family on the island and owned a cannery in La Cantera, in the municipality of Alajero. When Mrs. Stephan retired, she had the Casa de la Paz built in Hermigua and set about realizing her dream of building a sanctuary in the middle of the El Cedro forest."

View of Roque Ojila, Roque Agando and Mount Teide

Highlight • Viewpoint

When the weather is good, not only La Gomera shows itself at its best and most beautiful, but also Tenerife and the summit of Teide. Here you can see the entire length of Tenerife. Always worth a trip to this place.

Laurisilva Forest of La Gomera

Highlight • Forest

Like something out of a fairy tale, the high level of humidity that can be trapped in the dense forests of La Gomera, creates the perfect conditions for the Laurel tree, also called Laurisilva, to thrive in this subtropical environment.

October 24, 2022,Lorbeerwald Runde von El Molinito

Our 7th hike on La Gomera was once again a highlight. The ascents and descents, mostly on forest paths, were easy to walk. When thick fog came up in the afternoon, the forest became a magic forest, as often described 🎃👻🧞‍♂️ Komoot had a couple of dropouts during the recording, so part of the lap can be seen as a …

Today's tour first went down into the laurel forest. I wasn't sure if the tour is good as it often runs close to the main road, but the traffic noise was very limited. There was a nice atmosphere in the forest. After the Hermitage of Lourdes, a stone road slowly led up again. After crossing the main road, the path …

Because it was so beautiful, we took another trip into the cloud forest by bus. This little trip even had a stream running through it. Incredibly beautiful and like in a fairy tale. Unfortunately we were a bit pressed for time because we wanted to catch the bus at 3 p.m. because we wanted to go swimming. Well, unnecessary, we …

A small bus took us to the Pajarito parking lot. First ascent to the viewing platform on La Gomera's highest mountain, the Alto Garajonay (1487 m), in the middle of the national park. Up here you get a great view over large parts of the island and to the neighboring islands of Tenerife, La Palma and El Hierro. Unfortunately a …

First, it was a long, steep descent - mostly using steps. I was glad I had taken this direction; the path mostly runs through the shady laurel forest, so a jacket is advisable. The ascent then gets warmer, even if it is not quite as steep as the descent, but it seemed as if it would never end. In the …
