Hermigua Valley
Valle de Hermigua
The most humid and lush valley on the island, with banana plantations and terraces covering the valley floor. By the sea are a natural seawater pool and the remains of an old banana-loading pier.
The Hermigua Valley runs from El Cedro in the national park to the north coast. Its abundant water supports banana plantations, palm trees and terraces across the valley floor, and it is considered the greenest valley on La Gomera. Villages line the valley road, and there is the Convent of Santo Domingo as well as an ethnographic museum. At the valley mouth on the coast, Pescante has the remains of an old pier used for shipping bananas, beside a natural seawater pool that is open when sea conditions are good. You can walk from El Cedro down the trail to the village. Free.
