'The capital of the Canary Island of La Gomera, with a population of just 4,500, has a rural charm free of stress and hustle and bustle. Close by the harbour promenade is the Plaza de Las Américas. This square with its central location is bordered by numerous kiosks and pavement cafés and is the town's meeting place. To the east is the town hall, directly behind which is the Plaza de la Constitutión. Twice a week you can hear the calls of the Gomerian market-stall holders, as they sell home-made jams, fresh fruit and veg and other delicacies in the shade of the old Indian bay trees. This is also where one of the oldest buildings in the town, the former toll house, stands.
