A car route with curves and temperature changes does not seem, a priori, very attractive. But everything changes when this route is followed. From the capital to a valley whose name could not be more accurate, Vallehermoso [Beautiful Valley], this is the essence of La Gomera. Endless palm groves, a dense laurel forest of the Tertiary worthy of the best fairy tale, impressive basins leading to villages of typical architecture comprising stone and red tiles, as well as bathing areas for a necessary dip, make the northeast of the island an excursion to highlight.
