Caserío de Arguayoda

In La Gomera we can find an interesting and picturesque village in the town of Alajeró, in the southern part of the island, it is known as Caserío de Arguayoda. This construction stands out for being perfectly preserved and is a clear example of the traditional architecture of La Gomera, composed of several houses of stone and wood. The hamlet of Arguayoda stands out not only for its traditional Canarian construction, but also for the hermitage in honor of San Lorenzo, which forms one of its buildings.

The farmhouse is located in the middle of the Arguayoda hillock, which is protected by two large ravines, the Barranco de la Negra that reaches the beach of the same name and the Barrando de Erque that reaches the beach of the Rajita.

The Caserio is between palm trees and cactus trees so if you look with perspective the place resembles an oasis, during the winter the environment turns green and when the summer arrives you can see a golden landscape. It can be reached descending from the Cueva de Las Palomas and close to it you can see Caserios de El Drago and La Manteca. A wonderful environment together with traditional constructions make this a must-visit place.
