Located in the ravine of the same name, it is surrounded all around by cliffs over 600 meters high overlooking the sea. You will find several viewpoints from which to admire the panorama of La Gomera's rugged volcanic profile, softened by the vegetation and terraced crops typical of the area.

A short walk from the port, you can dive at Playa de Vueltas, topped by Mount Tequergenche. Valle Gran Rey's two largest beaches are La Puntilla and La Calera, ideal for diving. For surfers, however, we recommend Charco de La Condesa.
