Known as the jewel of La Gomera island for its spectacular beauty, the village of Agulo is one great big viewpoint, the radiant green of its crops contrasting with the Atlantic Ocean. Through its cobbled streets we reach the beautiful church of San Marcos, whose brilliant white domes stand out against the reddish roof tiles of the surrounding houses. 

Agulo is one of the smallest and oldest settlements on La Gomera, enjoying unimpeded views of Tenerife and its imposing volcano, El Teide. Its historic centre is one of the best preserved in the entire archipelago, with narrow, cobbled streets that will effortlessly transport us to times gone by.

Its rich architectural and cultural heritage includes the Church of San Marcos - a primitive sanctuary founded in 1607 that was transformed into a church years later. At the beginning of the 20th century, it was demolished to build the current neo-Gothic style construction.

Agulo's gastronomy revolves around potato, yam or watercress, giving rise to typical local dishes such as watercress stew, yam stew, and goat or pork accompanied by potatoes with mojo picón, a spicy red pepper sauce. Another traditional local product is almogrote, a spread based on cured and seasoned goat's cheese.
