Ethnographic Park of La Gomera Los Telares

A space to discover the perfectly preserved customs and traditions.

A rich artistic expression and traditional elements available to be discovered by curious visitors who value the essence of the place.

A journey through the past shows the island identity which has been passed on from generation to generation.

A space with elements which evoke customs such as the ‘gofio mill’ (gofio is a type of flour) which is perfectly preserved and numerous pieces guarding stories that talk about how people lived in the past and traditions that are still maintained on the island.

In one location, a local handicrafts and delicatessen store, a traditional orchard and a restored Gofio Mill with a large antiques collection exhibition.
