I had the opportunity to experience Silbo Gomero first hand - at least the version they show off to tourists on a tour. It’s a unique language that was nearly lost.
If you visit the Canary Islands I highly recommend to check it out.
- init 5y agoIt's worth noting that La Gomera is quite far from the more western islands: Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura and Lanzarote. Visitors staying on those islands might need to plan their La Gomera visit ahead of traveling to the canaries.
- ottonormal 5y agoflew to Tenerife in 2019 and took a ferry to La Gomera, wasn't big deal to do so. Then just rent a car and travel around the island by yourself. Fortunately, I was able to experience the language myself when I hiked to Mirador de Abrante. The old dock for banana ships (or at least what's left of it) is also well worth seeing (Pescante de Hermigua). I could talk for hours about my stay there, an incredibly beautiful place.
