Taguluche

White houses and palm groves in the south-east of La Gomera

The best view of the hamlet of Taguluche, in the south-west of La Gomera, is, without doubt, from the El Santo lookout point along the road that will take you there. From here you can see a beautiful valley with small white houses dotted about a majestic palm grove, one of the most important groves in the Canary Islands and listed as an official Place of Interest by the EU. In the village itself you will discover a picturesque rural settlement where man and nature live happily side by side.

A hamlet with a sea view

Flanked by vertical rock faces adding to the sense of smallness, Taguluche looks out to sea from the bottom of the ravine where it sits. The resident population have adapted to their surroundings and cultivate the land in terraces, giving the hamlet its emblematic stepped look. The springs in the area keep the land fertile, while stone walkways take you up and down the ravine and in among the small rural homes with their tiled roofs, many of which have been restored. Let yourself get carried away!

  • 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.
  • Do not throw any waste or other objects into the sea.
  • 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 and look after the area's historic and cultural heritage, along with the different items of public furniture (information panels, railings, seats, lighting, etc.).
