Although Alajeró is the administrative center of the region in the south of La Gomera, it is a tranquil place with many hiking opportunities. It is surmounted by the sacred mountain of El Calvário and the chapel on the summit.

There is no marked path from the dragon tree, we go through the old river bed, maybe that was the path too, we don't know 😂

April 18, 2024,La Gomera | Alajeró - El Drago - Barranco de Tajonague

Now we're both feeling under the weather, so we're scaling back our activities. We're going to visit what is probably the oldest dragon tree on the island, simply called El Drago. It's said to be around 400 years old. Due to the lack of annual rings, the age of dragon trees can only be roughly determined. Definitely a specimen worth …

The way back through the gorge is very exhausting. You walk in the dry river bed and have to climb over big rocks.

What a tour! I walked this tour alone because A. had knee problems. Okay, initially everything went well and without problems. After I reached the dragon tree, the path suddenly disappeared. According to the map, we went along the river stream. Through undergrowth and across country I tried to find the right direction with my mobile phone. It's a good …

April 22, 2025,La Gomera 2025 Runde von Alajero zum Drago de Agalán

Today we had planned to climb the highest point on La Gomera. However, it was so stormy up there that we quickly changed our plans and did a short circular hike from Alajero to the oldest dragon tree on the island. It's amazing how the weather can change just a few hundred meters below. The relatively short hike was nevertheless …

February 10, 2023,Drachenbaumrunde von Alajero

After we were only watered from below during the tour to the waterfall at El Guro yesterday, today we had the full package with constant rain and fog. The planned 15km dragon tree tour was therefore much shorter, but no less spectacular.
From Alajero we get on the GR132, from which soon a scramble path leads up a creek bed …

But relatively difficult hike. A slope with large natural stones to the dragon tree. Requires good shoe soles and full attention. In order not to go back we walked down through the Baranco. That was quite a climb, and you should pay attention to the cairns. At a small dam you cross the GR 132, on which you then climb …

March 8, 2024,Von Alajero zum Drachenbaum und durch den Barranco Hondo

First hike with Susanne in the best weather to what is supposedly the only dragon tree on Gomera.
In the Barranco, sure-footedness is required.
Beautiful!! The wild fennel in the first photo tastes really good.
