Lomo del Dinero Viewpoint

Going up towards Garajonay National Park, just by the area belonging to Agulo, we find the Lomo del Dinero Lookout Point, from where a landscape of wide valleys and green hills, with the scent of junipers (plants with medicinal properties), surrounding the Meriga reservoir becomes, without a doubt, a gift to our eyes.

El Bailadero Viewpoint

We find the last lookout point at kilometer 11 of the TF-12 road that enters Anaga Rural Park, called El Bailadero, from where you have an excellent view of the Anaga massif and the village of Taganana at its feet. In the surroundings of this lookout point there is a hostel, with a capacity of 40 beds, since this area is highly visited by lovers of mountain tourism and hiking. Curiously, the name "El Bailadero" comes from a legend about the witches of Anaga: It is said that in this place there were witches who danced around bonfires on coven days, casting spells and practicing the art of witchcraft.

Vallehermoso Viewpoint

Following the northern road that starts in San Sebastián de la Gomera and runs through the municipalities of Hermigua and Agulo, we arrive at Vallehermoso, the largest municipality of the island, basically dedicated to agriculture, with irrigated vineyards and dry cereals. This lookout point, a little before reaching the village, allows you to admire the magnificent landscape carved into the steep walls of the mountains by means of stepped stone terraces filled with earth. There are also laurel forests (at high altitudes) and junipers (at a lower stratum). This area of the island is the oldest geologically and is composed of highly eroded plutonic rocks, among which Roque Cano stands out. Around the Vallehermoso Ravine is the confluence of the two main watercourses that comprise the hydrographic network of La Gomera, the Ingenio and Macayo Rivers.
