We stopped for a cortado because a heavy rain shower interrupted our walk.

The place isn't particularly large and doesn't offer anything extraordinary. However, since the ferry docks here, you can easily spend an hour or two strolling around or having something to eat.

Valle Gran Rey is simply beautiful and relaxing. I felt at ease there immediately after just a few minutes.

Moni has already noted everything very well, and I'd like to agree. The Hotel Valle Gran Ray is right across the street. It's a very good place to stay; cleanliness is a top priority there. The staff is always very attentive and tries to ensure our stay is pleasant. When the weather is nice, breakfast is served on the terrace with the wonderful sound of the sea in front of you. Many items from the breakfast buffet are freshly prepared on request. The swimming pool is a great place to cool off after a hike and work on a tan. We would be happy to book the Valle Gran Ray again.

A beautiful spot to relax. Listening to the sea and the wind right by the water—that's all you need to unwind. I love this spot by the sea. My: LA Gomera

San Sebastian is a wonderfully beautiful place. It has many small boutiques, cafés, and restaurants. The harbor is also beautiful to look at.

Hautacuperche is one of the most famous rebels of La Gomera. Since 2007, he has been commemorated with a bronze statue on the beach of Valle Gran Rey. In 1488, Hautacuperche led a rebellion of the locals against the Spanish occupiers. The inhabitants of La Gomera suffered from various oppressions by the Spanish occupier Hernan de Peraza. When the Guanche princess Iballa was finally persecuted, the council of natives decided on a rebellion. Rebellion against the Spaniards In 1488, Hautacuperche is said to have killed Hernan de Perza in the cave. Thereupon Pedro de Vera, the governor of Gran Canaria, issued the order to kill all men over 15 years of age who belonged to certain tribes. The women and children were to be enslaved. The outcome was tragic, but Hautacuperche was given the highest respect. Leader of the insurgents In the summer of 2007, a monument was erected to Hautacuperche: his statue stands imposingly on the beach of Valle Gran Rey. The location is very close to the Baja del Secreto, from where Hautacuperche is said to have set out to lead the Rebelion der Gomeros. Bronze statue in Valle Gran Rey Cast entirely in bronze, the statue of Hautacuperche impresses with a height of four meters. It stands in La Puntilla in Valle Gran Rey, directly opposite the Hotel Gran Rey at the beach entrance with its back to the sea.
