VOLVER BACK RETOUR RETOUR La isla The Island Die Insel The Island La isla de La Gomera, de forma casi circular, es la segunda más pequeña del Archipiélago Canario. Se encuentra situada en la provincia occidental y su capital en San Sebastián de La Gomera. Es también conocida como isla colombina, por ser el lugar de avituallamiento del almirante Cristobal Colón en el viaje del descubrimiento del Nuevo Mundo. Tiene una población en torno a los 24.000 habitantes. La Gomera tiene una superficie de 369 kilómetros cuadrados y su pico más alto es del Garajonay, con 1.487 metros, situado en el Parque Nacional del Garajonay. La isla tiene, aproximadamente, 12 millones de años de antigüedad y por su morfología está repleta de barrancos que hacen de La Gomera una de las islas con paisajes más espectaculares y sorprendentes. Cabe destacar el monumento natural de “Los Órganos”, muestra de columnata basáltica con forma de tubos sólo visible desde el mar. The island of La Gomera, almost circular, is the second smallest of the Canary Islands. It is located in the western province and its capital in San Sebastián de La Gomera. It is also known as the Columbian island, as Admiral Christopher Columbus, on his voyage for the discovery of the New World stopped in the place for supplies and provisions. It has a population around 24,000. La Gomera has an area of 369 square kilometers and its highest peak is called Garajonay, with 1,487 meters, located in Garajonay National Park. The island has about 12 million years old and its morphology is full of ravines, which means La Gomera islands can be considered one of the most spectacular and amazing scenery ever seen. We have to remark on the natural monument of "Los Organos". It is basically basaltic colonnade shaped in tubes, only visible from the sea. But the similarity to a Giant Black Church Organ gives the name to this outstanding view. The spirituality felt during a boat trip can be unforgettable. You can hear as if the sound of the waves was coming out from the Organs tubes. Worth trying. Don´t miss out. Die Insel La Gomera, fast rund in ihrer Form, ist die zweitkleinste der Inselgruppe.
