HERMIGUA TENERIFE


Lying in the island's most fertile and productive valley, Hermigua tacks along the road through plantations of banana palms. Though one of La Gomera's larger settlements, it's a tiny, tranquil place, a stopping point for visitors who want to see local crafts being made and maybe make a purchase at the interesting Los Telares artesania (craft centre). Nearly opposite is the Convento de Santo Domingo, a 16th century church with a Moorish style wooden ceiling.
