Hermigua - El Moralito - Hermigua

Route 33 follows a circular itinerary through the agricultural and coastal north of Hermigua, one of the most fertile and representative valleys on La Gomera. Along the route, hikers pass through old local paths, traditional neighbourhoods and seaside trails, with open views of the Atlantic Ocean and the Garajonay massif. It is an accessible route, perfect for a day of cultural, scenic and photographic hiking. The starting point is located in Hermigua, a village surrounded by terraced farmland and palm groves, with the valley’s characteristic elongated profile. From there, the trail gently ascends towards Las Nuevitas and Los Barranquillos, rural neighbourhoods that preserve traditional houses, threshing floors and irrigation channels, reflecting the agricultural way of life that defines this area. The route continues towards El Moralito and El Palmar, where riparian vegetation and active vegetable gardens accompany the path. From this section, there are also excellent views of the sea, and on clear days it is possible to see the nearby island of Tenerife. The trail then descends towards La Caleta, a small pebble beach with a secluded atmosphere, ideal for a rest by the sea. From here, the route turns inland through Los Pedacitos, a succession of terraces, stone paths and cultivated vegetation, before finally reaching La Castellana, an elevated point offering panoramic views of the entire valley. The return to Hermigua completes a perfect loop, ideal for those wishing to discover the most authentic, green and maritime side of La Gomera, without major elevation gain or technical difficulty. This route is particularly recommended for hikers interested in traditional agricultural landscapes, rural architecture and trails with ethnographic and natural value.
