Echoes
Of

Tune into ‘Silbo Gomero’, a distinct whistling language echoing across the ages. Born from the Guanches, the island’s first settlers, it bridges gorges and encapsulates everything from public announcements to intimate notes. More than coded whistles, ‘Silbo Gomero’ rings out and resonates as a vibrant dialect of the island.

The Island

Picture this: La Gomera’s raw, rocky topography and a figure pole-vaulting to embrace an age-old art, the ‘Salto del pastor’. This shepherd’s leap, also passed down from the Guanches, was once a shepherding essential but nowadays lives on as a celebrated folkloric sport.
