Description

Circular hike, on the extreme northwestern tip of La Gomera, we recommend starting from Vallehermoso beach and climbing up to Alcalá's egg laying area. Climbing from Vallehermoso beach to Buenavista (560m), at each stop (mandatory) the vastness of the sea that separates us from La Palma to the northwest and the Teide sitting like a gigantic statue on the ocean. The north coast of La Gomera, like a border of the photo, completes this surrealist panorama. The "cardoncillos", euforbiaceous, cover the entire slope.
Following the Chijeré ridge to the hermitage of Santa Clara, you can see the monolith of Los Órganos, at least with its face facing inland. Santa Clara, with its tables, benches and barbecue, looks more like a five-star panoramic restaurant above the tip of Arguamul and the entire western slope of La Gomera, well guarded from above by the Tesselinde.
The barranco de la Era Nueva, formerly of los Franceses, is a separate world, with its drier and warmer southern slope and its northern slope open to the alises. A world of euphorbia, agaves and palm trees.
