    When visiting el Hierro it’s a must to come here. The museum combines parts about volcanic formations, lagartos (big lizards of el Hierro) and the life of bimbaches. We got a guided tour which lasted for an hour and a half and did not regret even though it was in Spanish only. If you happen to come here and want to get tourist passport don’t forget to ask. We did not and they didn’t offer us. See more..

    Centro de Visitantes del Parque Nacional del Garajonay image
    We visited the small museum, with fine displays explaining the traditional culture, fauna, virgin nature and flora in La Gomera. There’s also a small craft workshop. The owner cooks excellent traditional Gomerian cookies with local “gofio” (i.e.: flour of toasted cereals). This local Gomerian cookie is delicious and believed to be excellent for health! The botanic garden is wonderful and colourful!!! See more..
