Culture
The Canarios are very proud of their artistic and historical heritage. The Spanish Culture mixes with the customs of the Gomeros and South-American influences in an especially attractive combination.
In many places, there are still active folklore groups, who cultivate traditions. Dances and music passed down from generation to generation are an important part of every fiesta.
Visitor’s Centre in the North of the Island
The visitor’s centre Juego de Bole in Las Rosas allows you to get an insight into the way of life of the original inhabitants of La Gomera.
A small ethnographic museum has been added on to the exhibition rooms.
El Silbo

Fiestas
The Canarios are well known for their talent and desire to party. Even on La Gomera, the locals certainly know how to celebrate the different events. A procession and afterwards a party with lots of dancing are all part of the plan for almost every fiesta! mehr
