La Parroquia Matriz de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción in San Sebastián de La Gomera, capital of La Gomera was erected in XVIII century C.E. A long and interesting story dedicated to an island. Built in Gothic and Rococo style mixed with Mudéjar style. The largest Catholic church on La Gomera. The church was the target of a pirate attack in 1619. There is a nice chapel called El Pilar inside the church. I visited capital San Sebastián de La Gomera and Church of the Assumption in January 2017. My recomendation to visit.

The history is here, Columbus stayed in La Gomera before his trip that discovered America
The Torre del Conde is a charming 15th-century stone tower situated in a picturesque location with stunning ocean vistas. The tower, which features a balcony, is located in the middle of a public park that offers numerous recreational opportunities for visitors. Unfortunately, the entrance to the interior of the building was closed during our visit. Nevertheless, it remains an attractive landmark that has undergone recent refurbishment and looks impressive overall.
Warm and sunny.. Clean and tidy mountainss high.

PERMANENTLY CLOSED. You can only see the outside of it. And EVEN THAT you can usually only see through a tall metal fence from far away as the park is often closed for no reason and with no signage. Terrible management of what should be a pretty epic historic site. Sadly, the city council (Cabildo) doesn’t seem to care about tourism.
Strange . . .

Lovely Public Green space for all to enjoy. The actual tower is closed save for a small platform which you may climb up on and enjoy the view.

The park is lovely and has lots of uses for the folk here. The tower itself is a building in the middle with a balcony. Shame the door to inside was closed.
It's good to look at.

Great little place for a coffee. Little kids park along side too.
Located in close proximity to San Sebastian port, Playa San Sebastián boasts picturesque black sands and a serene atmosphere that is perfect for those seeking solitude. Despite being a popular destination, the beach remains relatively uncrowded even on weekends, with minimal commercial activity. The absence of sunbeds coupled with the availability of umbrellas adds to the relaxed vibe of the area. However, some visitors have noted that while the sand near the water is pleasant, it may not be as comfortable further inland.
Nice beach with showers and changing rooms. Some part is stony, some part is black sand.

Sandy beach near town with free parking, showers and some shade from palm trees and fixed umbrellas.
Protected from large waves. Only bad thing is the diesel exhausts from ferries and not a lot of charm. Lots of locals on the beach.

I like the fav that there were no sunbeds or commercial stuff. There were some umbrellas, and that was great. It’s a very chill beach during weekdays. Maybe it gets crowded on weekends.

Nice beach, just the sand to lay on is not very pleasant. Close to the water, the sand is nice.

Quiet calm beach with the famous black sands, even on a weekend only a few people around. Worth a quick visit when in town coming off the ferry at San Sebastian port about 20 min walk away.
