Today we drove into the #garajonay national park and #hiked up to the ermita de lourdes. It’s a very tranquil place the feels like its in a mythical forest. Moss covers the ancient trees with long fronds of verdant green. It’s very humid, but also cool compared to the lower areas of La Gomera. The diversity of plant life is astounding.
Near the base of our hike, we stopped for a watercress soup that was truly delicious. It came with Gofia flour to thicken it to taste.

Arrived in #Hermigua on La Gomera last night. It’s really beautiful here. The landscape has many more ravines with lush vegetation. Hermigua has many banana plantations and it’s history dates back to circa 1691.
Heading out for a #hike this morning up to El Cedro on the edge of the #garajonay national park.
