(Staying at Parador de La Gomera, Half Board) Meals included: Dinner Day 2 El Roque Agando Today's walk starts in the impressive surroundings of Los Roques with gigantic lava plugs all around us. We descend through colourful vegetation and Canarian Pine and palm trees to the pretty white cottages of Benchijigua, one of the oldest settlements on the island. A short climb rewards us with stunning views of the Santiago ravine, towered over by the colossal Roque Agando, before we finish our walk in the hamlet of Imada. Ravines and rocks are evidence of the erosion here after two million years without volcanic eruptions, while terraced fields colonise the steep slopes and goat-bells ring in the distance. (Staying at Parador de La Gomera, Half Board) Meals included: Breakfast, Dinner Distance covered: 8 km / 5 miles Activity (hours): 4 Day 3 Garajonay National park A UNESCO World Heritage National Park since 1986, the ancient laurel forest of the Garajonay National Park is a magical green oasis. Today's walk descends gently through the high-humidity forest, alive with flora and fauna including wax myrtle, Canary laurel, blue tits and Bolle's pigeons; our expert local guide will share their knowledge with us. We follow one of the few streams on the island which flows all year round, down towards the hamlet of El Cedro where we stop for lunch in a local restaurant, dining on watercress soup, gofio, almogrote and goats' cheese, before continuing our walk through the forest. (Staying at Parador de La Gomera, Half Board) Meals included: Breakfast, Dinner Distance covered: 8 km / 5 miles Activity (hours): 4 Day 4 La Merica Ridge Walk Starting in Arure with its patchwork of green and gold terraces, the ground opens dramatically on both sides. There are spectacular views from the ridge over the most emblematic valley on the island - Valle Gran Rey - to the left, and over Taguluche village far down to the right. We continue our walk, passing goat farms, until an abandoned canal leads us to a terraced plateau which is deserted apart from some ruined houses. We walk down to La Calera where locals grow bananas, mangos and avocados in abundance. It's time for a refreshing swim in the ocean and a relaxing drink. (Staying at Parador de La Gomera, Half Board) Meals included: Breakfast, Dinner Distance covered: 7 km / 5 miles Activity (hours): 3 Day 5 Free Day Today you could explore the pretty harbour and old quarter of San Sebastian, which dates back 500 years to the Conquest of the Americas. Here you can see Columbus' house, the Church of the Incarnation and Columbus' well, where water supplies were taken for his final voyage. It's also market day here today. Or maybe just relax in the hotel's beautiful gardens by the pool. (Staying at Parador de La Gomera, B&B) Meals included: Breakfast Day 6 Vallehermoso Walk This walk reveals the very best of the island with verdant gorges, dramatic coastline, and magnificent views. From bustling Vallehermoso in the fertile north west, we ascend a lush ravine to the Santa Clara chapel for a picnic lunch. A stunning coastal walk and a beautiful descent with a commanding view of lofty Roque Cano, returns us to Vallehermoso. (Staying at Parador de La Gomera, Half Board) Meals included: Breakfast, Dinner Distance covered: 9 km / 6 miles Activity (hours): 4 Day 7 The 1000m Villages Walk Today, a short and spectacular climb to the Garajonay peak, in the centre of the UNESCO World Heritage National Park, rewards us with breathtaking views of the islands of La Palma, El Hierro, Tenerife and Gran Canaria. We'll pass fig, palm and Canary pine trees as we descend through some of the most iconic villages in La Gomera, the first being Igualero, from where we can see the UNESCO World Heritage monument to Silbo Gomero. We head on to the 16th century mountain village of Chipude, where we pass a huge rock fortress, The Fortress of Chipude (or Argodey) and where we stop for a typical Canarian lunch. We finish the day in El Cercado where traditional pottery methods are still used in some of the craft shops. Round off your week with a tasty local tipple such as guarapo, mistela or gomeron. (Staying at Parador de La Gomera, Half Board) Meals included: Breakfast, Dinner Distance covered: 11 km / 7 miles Activity (hours): 5 Day 8 Leave San Sebastian Accommodation Hotel Your base is the stunning and tranquil 4 star Parador in the charming capital of San Sebastian. Perched high on the cliff top and surrounded by exotic gardens planted with hibiscus, bougainvillea and palms, the hotel's pool is spectacularly positioned overlooking the sea and the colourful harbour below. It is built in traditional Canarian style with elegantly furnished wooden-beamed rooms with air conditioning and pretty interior patios. Excellent evening meals are served in the hotel, and expect to sample some typical Gomeran specialities. Where a single supplement is available, paying for a single only guarantees a room for single use. It does not always mean a twin or double room will be provided for sole occupancy. Single supplement from $434.00 USD Food & Transport Eating & Drinking Canarian dishes tend to be simple and elegant, owing much to sun-ripened tropical fruits such as paw-paw, prickly pear and bananas, local vegetables such as sweetcorn and potatoes, and fresh fish such as moray and snapper. Specialities include conejo al salmorejo (slow cooked rabbit with garlic, paprika and chili); rancho canario (a chickpea meaty soup), ropa vieja (chicken, pork and or beef stew); chocos (cuttlefish); and potaje de berros (watercress soup). The most popular fish are members of the sea bass family - cherne, cabrilla or merluza are common, and you may find grilled swordfish (espada a la plancha), as well as calamares (squid), gambas (prawns) and pulpo (octopus). All the islands produce their own wine. Worth a try are those from the DOC region Tacoronte Acentejo produced by Insulares Tenerife, Viña Norte, produced from Listan Negro and Negramol grape. Wine producer Bodega S. Vinícola from La Gomera is well known for its Garajonay, an aromatic yellowish white, produced from 100% Forastera grape. Transportation In order that you see as much of this varied region as possible, transfers (typically 45-70 minutes) are built into the beginning/end of most walking days.

RESUMEN: Durante la estación reproductora de 2009 (febrero-junio) se ha estudiado el tamaño de la población de cuervo en cuatro islas del archipié- lago canario. En total fueron censadas 44 parejas: diez en Gran Canaria, 12 en Tenerife, 17 en La Palma y cinco en La Gomera. La mayoría de estas parejas tienen sus territorios en barrancos, roquedos y acantilados marinos, coincidiendo con enclaves donde aún existe actividad ganadera (rebaños de cabras y ovejas) o cabras asilvestradas. Es muy probable que el tamaño de la población flotante no supere al de las aves reproductoras. Se discuten las amenazas reales y potenciales. Palabras clave: Corvus corax, censo, distribución, conservación, islas cen- tro-occidentales, archipiélago canario. ABSTRACT: During the 2009 breeding season (February-June) we studied the population size of Common Raven on four islands of the Canarian archi- pelago.

  • Lenguaje Silbado En El Hierro
    Publicado en La Provincia (Las Palmas de Gran Canaria) el 7 de noviembre de 1991. LENGUAJE SILBADO EN EL HIERRO Maximiano Trapero Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria Para Eloy Quintero, ejemplo de la generosidad herreña. 2008 Siempre se ha tenido ─y con razón─ al silbo gomero como una de las manifestaciones más extraordinarias de la cultura de los aborígenes canarios. Para algunos, sin duda, la más extraordinaria de universitaria, los antiguos isleños. Extraordinaria por varios motivos: primero, por haber logrado pervivir hasta hoy; segundo, por ser un caso único conocido en el mundo y tercero, por el sistema mismo del silbo como mecanismo eficaz de comunicación. Biblioteca Parece incuestionable que el lenguaje silbado fue práctica habitual entre los aborígenes de la isla de La Gomera, que con él salvaban las enormes dificultades de sus innumerables y profundísimos barrancos. Los primeros cronistas de la Conquista dejaron constancia de aquel fenómeno tan especial ULPGC. atribuyéndolo a una noticia legendaria: la del poblamiento de Canarias por parte de un pueblo de la por provincia de Mauritania, a cuyos individuos, sublevados contra el poder de Roma, les cortaron la lengua para no poder jactarse ni referir jamás aquella sublevación, y que metidos en navíos fueron abandonados con algunas cabras y ovejas en las islas. Y de aquella imposibilidad de hablar recurrieron e inventaron el silbo. Es famoso, por repetido, el pasaje en que los cronistas de la conquista betencuriana explican la realizada impresión que les causó la forma de hablar (no dicen que fuera de silbar) de los gomeros: «Hablan el lenguaje más extraño de todos los demás países de esta banda, y hablan con los bezos, como si no tuvieran lengua.

  • Results of the Iv World Congress of Terraced Landscapes
    RESULTS OF THE IV WORLD CONGRESS OF TERRACED LANDSCAPES ORGANIZED BY ITLA MAC IN CANARY ISLANDS, SPAIN From 13 to 22 March 2019 the IV World Congress of Terraced Landscapes Re- enchanting Terraces has been held in La Gomera, Canary Islands (Spain). The Congress, organized by the International Terraced Landscapes Alliance (ITLA) had the objective to show the significative value of the terraced landscapes as active resources that can be used to meet new social demands for food, agriculture, leisure, education, social interaction and finally quality of life with friendly, beautiful and safe landscapes against natural risks. The Congress focuses on the specific problems of the Canary Islands, Madeira, Azores and Cape Verde to develop a global thinking on the perspectives of these territories in the future. More than 150 experts from different countries and representing all the various institutions that have organized the event in Canary Islands participated to the Congress. From 16 to 18 March, the congress participants, divided into 14 groups, moved to the eight islands of El Hierro, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, La Gomera, Lanzarote, La Palma, Tenerife and Madeira, to visit the productive and abandoned terraces, to discuss with owners and farmers, to exchange with the population and the local institutions about the perspectives of their development. As a result of these visits, specialists in various disciplines related to the environment, land management, geography or architecture have travelled to La Gomera from the different islands to participate in the final event of the IV World Congress of Terraced Landscapes. On this occasion the representative of the local government of La Gomera, valuing the great contribution of the event, has stressed that in the island are being implemented 50 projects of rehabilitation of terraces that require sustainable development and economic strategies to ensure their conservation.
