Borbalan is a quiet town in Valle Gran Rey, situated between the sea and the slopes of the valley. Banana plantations and fruit trees surround Borbalan and its houses, which stretch from the traditional town centre to the harbour.

In the last few years, the origins of Borbalan have been supplemented by new shops, accommodation and a play park.

Canary Island date palms border the road leading from the bridge over the Valle Gran Rey’s Barranco to Gomera’s western harbour.

The mighty cliff of the Teguerguenche, the eastern edge of the Valle Gran Rey, provides the town’s backdrop.
