Slipping back through time, let’s journey to 1502. The island of La Gomera was still finding its footing in the wake of Spanish conquest. Amidst this backdrop of change, the Ermita de San Lorenzo emerged. It stands as the second hermitage built on the island, a testament to the enduring power of faith. The Ermita de San Lorenzo whispers stories of centuries past. The 1735 Davila Synod mentions it, solidifying its place in La Gomera’s history. Located on the road to Arguayoda, it perches on the edge of the Herque ravine. The Ermita de San Lorenzo isn’t just a building; it’s a time capsule. To truly experience this sacred place, you’ll need to find the key. A local resident usually holds it, often someone living nearby. If you spot a bar, that’s a good place to start your search.
