The Juego de Bolas Visitor Center is a museum-interpretation center linked to the Garajonay National Park, located in the municipality of Agulo (La Gomera, Canary Islands), in the surroundings of La Palmita/Juego de Bolas and at the coordinates provided. Its main function is to provide information to visitors about the park, the insular nature and the traditional culture of La Gomera, acting as an access point to routes, brochures and informative content about the protected area. The sources consulted do not document a date of construction or foundation of the building or a specific architectural style, so it should be described as a contemporary tourist-cultural facility. It does have exhibition rooms dedicated to the nature and culture of the island, a craft workshop or workshops, a projection room and a garden with native Canary flora. The center is directly related to the dissemination of the Garajonay National Park, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO for its laurel forest, and is presented as an infrastructure to support visits to the natural area. In some references it is also mentioned as an ethnographic museum for its exhibition content on Gomeran culture, although its main denomination is that of a visitor center.

Panoramic and architectural viewpoint located in Agulo, in the north of La Gomera, on the Abrante cliff at an altitude of 620-625 meters. It sits next to a large cliff, with a vertical drop of nearly 200 meters, and occupies an area of approximately 3,150 square meters, of which a small part corresponds to the visitable structure. It was inaugurated in 2013 and has established itself as one of the most recognizable points of the island. Its distinctive feature is a cantilevered glass walkway, with about seven meters of projection over the void, which allows you to look out with a sense of vertigo to the ravine and the landscape of the valley of Agulo. From the viewpoint you get a very wide view of the town center, the north coast of Gomero and, on clear days, Tenerife and Mount Teide on the horizon. It is interesting for the combination of landscape and contemporary design: it is not only a natural balcony, but a unique work designed to convert the rugged terrain into a visual experience. For this reason it is regularly featured in guides and reports on the most spectacular viewpoints in the Canary Islands and Spain, and has become a tourist icon associated with Agulo. In addition to its scenic value, it serves as a point of interpretation of the territory and a resting place for visitors and hikers. Its importance lies in the direct relationship between architecture, volcanic geography and rural landscape of Gomero, in a very visited enclave and closely linked to the tourist image of the municipality.
