“Did anyone bring a cushion?” laughed a hiker, gazing at the imposing rock formation. Here, perched atop a peak on La Gomera, stands the Stuhl. This incredible natural viewpoint is more than just a pretty sight. It offers breathtaking panoramic views of the island’s dramatic landscape. The Stuhl, a silent sentinel shaped by centuries of wind and weather, has borne witness to the island’s rich and tumultuous history. Imagine the ancient Canarians, La Gomera’s original inhabitants, gazing out from this very spot. They lived in a stone-age culture, relying on farming, shepherding, and fishing for survival. Their world was one of deep connection to the land, a connection that resonates even today as you take in the sprawling vistas. Perhaps they too felt the power of this place, the raw beauty of the volcanic cliffs and the deep, verdant valleys stretching out before them. The Stuhl stands as a timeless monument, a reminder of La Gomera’s enduring spirit.
