Path of Salt and Wind: Sunset in Playa de Santiago

La Gomera

A coastal walk to switch off

The Sunset in Playa de Santiago experience offers a simple route through this coastal area of the municipality of Alajeró, designed to enjoy a peaceful atmosphere by the sea. It is an easy one-hour, 2.74-km walk, ideal both for those extending their day after another activity and for those seeking an independent plan focused on La Gomera’s coastline. Playa de Santiago stands out for its open character, its seafaring life and its accessible shoreline that invites you to stroll at your own pace.

The perfect place to watch the sun go down

The experience ends at sunset, one of the main attractions of the area. The light reflects on the coast and creates a particularly pleasant atmosphere for resting, enjoying the scenery or ending the day with a meal by the sea, thanks to the range of restaurants nearby. The result is a short, accessible proposal aimed at those who value calm plans and direct contact with the seafront before night falls.

Sustainability

Never leave waste of any type lying around, including cigarette butts. Leftover food leads to a proliferation of rats and wild cats, which pose a serious threat to the fauna.
Respect the animals. Do not bother them or feed them. If you see an injured specimen, you can call the emergency number: 112. Do not pick flowers or plants.
Do not pick up or take away stones or any other item from the natural environment. And do not move them to pile them up into sadly famous 'towers'.
Respect the signposting along trails. Leaving the set paths causes damage to the environment and could also be dangerous for you and anyone with you.
It is safer to keep your pet on a lead.
Try not to alter the peace of the environment with excessive noise (loud music, yelling, etc.).
