Small but beautifully thought out open air museum and garden. Lots to explore about the history and culture of La Gomera. Great wee cafe attached and full scale restaurant upstairs. Almond cake to die for.
The guys who work there are good, nice and helpful. Great terrace to have a coffee or a beer. Cute the shop is beautiful items for sale. The museum is basically a garden with a very nice mill. There are billboards and audiovisuals about the life of the population and history. Let’s say that calling it a museum is a bit much. The picture of a guy booing is misleading because no one on site will let you hear it.
We visited today and had lunch. After 2 weeks on La Gomera this was a real treat for a vegetarian! Actually had some choice and variety! We enjoyed the Park. It isn't very big but it's interesting. Lots of history about the Island and its people. A really pleasant afternoon. We took the bus from San Sebastian and of course the views are spectacular!
This ethnographic museum is a must to know the history of La Gomera. It is a space that brings us closer to the agricultural and livestock past of its people. 100% recommended.
Fantastic facilities, well maintained and great attention to the public. Rarely does one have the possibility to immerse oneself in the history and idiosyncrasies of a place. Knowing firsthand the stenography of a town, an island like La Gomera in a tour initiated magnificently well by the directions of a young q from the store indicated everything necessary to enjoy the experience. The travelers who accompanied me also lived it the same. Thank you.
very pleasant to walk there. Signs with explanations in Spanish, English and German. Lots to learn about customs, plants, living on La Gomera. We were here almost 3 hours.
The garden and thematic facilities allow you to learn about the life, culture and resources of the Gomeros. The multilingual audio guide provides a wealth of information.
Small didactic museum to discover the life and history of Gomera: agriculture, traditions. Shop for local products.
The park is tiny but beautiful, I took out the vip tickets with tasting. Audio guides are included, as well as an immersive experience with glasses. The delicious tasting, local cheeses, almogrote and fruit grown in the park. More than recommended. Excellent value for money.
Highly recommended if you are interested in the history of the island of La Gomera. Well-kept park, great pictures in the museum, from bananas to gofio everything top explained also in German.
