4. We will continue our route through Agulo, a beautiful northern municipality open to the Atlantic Ocean, with the peak of El Teide always present in its landscapes. This municipality is the smallest on the island of La Gomera, nestled at the foot of a great basalt wall and forms a beautiful green "balcony" over the sea. This town is considered "The Bonbon of La Gomera" thanks to its undeniable charm and its well-kept appearance. Agulo is full of pleasant cobbled streets and beautiful tiled houses with self-sufficient gardens around them.

5. We will return to the island's capital, San Sebastián, a city full of culture and tradition. Where will we have free time to walk around the capital of the island, with a historic castle of more than 500 years linked to the passage of Christopher Columbus, who made his last stop here before sailing to America in 1492.

   1 Std.

6. Visit the Torre del Conde, considered the best-preserved colonial Spanish fortification in the Canary Islands. Built in the 15th century to defend the island, it is one of the oldest historical buildings in the archipelago.

   10 Min.

7. The church of Our Lady of the Assumption, where we can delight in the result of the mixture between Gothic and Canarian style, a true museum of sacred art; the hermitage of San Sebastián, built around 1530, or the so-called Casa de la Aguada, with its well, from which legend says Christopher Columbus took the water with which the new continent was baptized. San Sebastián de La Gomera keeps the island's patroness, the Virgin of Guadalupe, in its hermitage of Puntallana, who every five years goes out in procession to all the municipalities of La Gomera, attracting thousands of faithful and curious people to its festivals. San Sebastián is an exceptional place that has very good samples of its past. Sprinkled with beautiful constructions of traditional Canarian architecture, with architectural examples that will reveal its great religious, social, political, and military activity that have been the protagonists of this settlement of more than five centuries old.

About Tenerife

Tenerife is the largest of the Canary Islands, dominated by Mount Teide, Spain's highest peak, with black-sand beaches, banana groves and laurel forests.

Tenerife rises from the Atlantic to the 3,715-metre summit of Mount Teide, a volcano whose national park of lava fields, strange rock formations and vast craters is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A cable car climbs most of the way up. The air is so clear that the island hosts astronomical observatories, and stargazing is a pastime in its own right.
