Description
Del Medio Reef. La Gomera island
Del Medio beach. La Gomera Island
The Middle beach is between those of Tapahuga and Chinguarime. It has the same characteristics as these, that is, it is a beach of callaos located in a virgin and isolated place, which invites to the practice of nudism. It is reached through trails and road. Of crystalline and calm waters.
La Gomera (pronounced [la ɣoˈmeɾa]) is one of Spain's Canary Islands, located in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Africa. With an area of 370 square kilometres (140 sq mi), it is the second smallest of the seven main islands of this archipelago. It belongs to the province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. La Gomera is the second least populous main island with 21,136 inhabitants.[2] Its capital is San Sebastián de La Gomera, where the cabildo insular (island council) is located.
The uppermost slopes of these barrancos, in turn, are covered by the laurisilva - or laurel rain forest, where up to 50 inches of precipitation fall each year.
The upper reaches of this densely wooded region are almost permanently shrouded in clouds and mist, and as a result are covered in lush and diverse vegetation: they form the protected environment of Spain's Garajonay National Park, which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1986. The slopes are criss-crossed by paths that present varying levels of difficulty to visitors, and stunning views to seasoned hikers.
The central mountains catch the moisture from the trade wind clouds and yield a dense jungle climate in the cooler air, which contrasts with the warmer, sun-baked cliffs near sea level.
Between these extremes one finds a fascinating gamut of microclimates; for centuries, the inhabitants of La Gomera have farmed the lower levels by channelling runoff water to irrigate their vineyards, orchards and banana groves.
