Drago de Agalán

Drago de Agalán

Outdoors / NatureProtected Areas

The Drago de Agalán is much more than a tree: it's a true natural monument and the oldest dragon tree in La Gomera, located in the stunning Tajonaje ravine near Alajeró. This millenary specimen, proudly featured on the municipality's coat of arms, has survived fires and the passage of time, becoming a symbol of resilience and beauty for the entire island.

Reaching it is quite an adventure that requires proper footwear and willingness to walk, as it involves descending about 200 meters of elevation through stairs and trails. Visitors recommend leaving your car past Imada and taking the paved path to the right to save yourself a good portion of the stairs. The effort is absolutely worthwhile: contemplating this botanical giant up close and feeling its ancestral energy is a unique and essential experience for anyone visiting La Gomera. The viewpoint offers spectacular views, though getting close to its base is what truly moves nature lovers.
