El Cabrito Viewpoint

Excellent

After surrounding the island, it is necessary to make a stop in a viewpoint that can remain unnoticed, since it doesn’t look too important from the car. But you have to stop to understand the importance of this enclave.

Actually, the natural monument of Barranco del Cabrito includes two ravines: Juan Vera, which is continued in El Cabrito and Guancha, both are separated by an abrupt tongue of land in which the erosion has carved sharp crests and spectacular volcanic plugs like Magro and Sombrero.

In the most inaccessible slopes grows a rare endemism of Gomera flora. The Barranco del Cabrito flows into a pebbled beach next to a hotel that used to be a farm that grew tomatoes and bananas. In the late 80’s, the controversial Viennese artist, Otto Mühl established a commune, rehabilitating the ancient buildings of the plantation.


Finally, the farm became an ecological hotel that can only be reached by boat or a long walk, since there are no roads. In its origins, the people only had great cereal fields that used terrace cultivation.

During the most part of the year, the barley and the wheat didn’t need to be taken care of, so the farmers could do other stuff, but in the harvesting season they needed a lot of help so the people of the north came here with their animals. They lodged in barns, simple constructions that were used for storage.

In the late 19th century, there were new work opportunities in places like Tenerife, Cuba or Venezuela, so the fields were abandoned.
