Located on the Spanish island of La Gomera is the town of San Sebastian de la Gomera which is the island's capital and home to its port. La Gomera is one of the Canary Islands and its port is located on the ferry route to the islands of Tenerife, La Palma and El Hierro. The city has an interesting historic past and is regarded as the main centre for culture and commerce on the island. Christopher Columbus spent time on the island and San Sebastian de la Gomera was his final point of departure on the way to his discovery of America. Popular attractions in the city include the Torre del Conde which is a medieval fortress and the oldest preserved building on the island. Also of interest is the Church of Our Virgin of the Assumption, the museum of religious art works from the 16th to the 19th centuries and the Chapel of St. Sebastian which was constructed around 1530. Also popular is the well, Casa de la Aguada, where legend has it Christopher Columbus took water from it and baptised the newly discovered continent with it.
Ferries from the port depart to Los Cristianos, Santa Cruz de La Palma and Valverde.
Valverde is the capital of the island of El Hierro, in the Canary Islands, and is a fairly quiet city that is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The city is located on a mountain that is around 600 meters above sea level and is the only capital in the Canary Islands that does not have a coastal location. An important, and popular, attraction in the city is the Church of Santa Maria e la Concepcion which dates back to the 18th century. Contained within the church is an 18th century carving of the Virgin Mary and a Cristo de la Columna, a Genoese sculpture which is of great artistic interest. The City Hall faces the church and is a good example of typical canary Island architecture.
Mocanal, in the north of the island, has abundant vegetation and an old settlement of stone straw-thatched houses called Pozo de las Calcosas, and is also site of two large natural swimming pools. One of the most important festivals held on the island is the Bajada de la Virgen de los Reyes. In this traditional festival, which is held every four years, the islanders carry their Virgin from her sanctuary to Valverde.
