Embarcadero del Muelle de La Rajita

La Rajita, with its fish factory, used to be one of the most important economic drivers of La Gomera until the 1980s. Today, only ruins remain in La Rajita, the coastal section below La Dama, the village with the most banana plantations on the island.

La Gomera had several fish salting and canning factories, an industry that has now disappeared. In 1831 the first fish salting factory was set up by Francisco Grasso in Erese, a cove west of Playa de Santiago.
In 1904, the Alicante company Lloret y Llinares set up a factory in Rajita, that existed until recently, developing a population centre on its banks that became depopulated when the factory closed.

The sea is not exactly calm there. Today the sea was a bit rougher, but that didn't stop a snorkeler from going in the water. When you watch the film, check out the bottom left at 0:06 - this guy was really brave.Læs mere
