Smell
We welcome you to the Route of the 5 Senses.
Along this sensory route you will find different landmarks related to sight, touch, hearing, taste and smell. In this case, we suggest you enjoy the sense of smell and the point that you choose:
The Beach
Laurisilva
The Bananas
The Beach
As you know, the municipality of Hermigua is located in the north of the island of La Gomera. This North Sea is characterized not only by its strength and drag, but by its smell.
Close your eyes, concentrate and enjoy this characteristic smell of the north.
Laurisilva
Laurisilva, which means laurel forest, is found in different parts of our municipality, forming the well-known Monteverde next to the Fayal-Brezal. Among its characteristics, its good smell stands out.
Close your eyes, concentrate and enjoy this characteristic Laurisilva scent.
The Bananas
For years, Hermigua has been the home of many packaging workshops. Both foreign companies (such as the British Fyffes Limited) and residents of the municipality packed bananas here to export them, above all, to Europe.
