La Dama

La Dama is a small village in the southwest of La Gomera and sits on the steep coast above Playa La Rajita.

Thanks to its fertile soil, it is known as the island's most important fruit producer. The somewhat remote village can be reached via a narrow, approximately 12-kilometer-long asphalt road from the mountain village of Chipude.

It is located in the middle of a barren landscape, but the area is still one of the most productive on the island.

The sight of the many greenhouses, plantations, and huge water reservoirs is surprising given the arid surroundings.

But they know how to use irrigation correctly, and so La Dama produces delicious local bananas, pineapples, and, above all, the popular avocados every year.Läs mer
