Things to do in Hermigua

  1. La Casa Creativa

    Upstairs, a quirky café serves fresh juices, homemade pies and pastries and an ever-changing array of tapas (vegetarian options are always available). For dinner, the formal downstairs restaurant serves slightly overpriced Canarian and international fare. The German owners also rent out a few apartments and arrange occasional yoga classes.

  2. El Silbo

    The best place for typical Canarian cuisine like tuna with mojo, fried rabbit or chipirones (tiny squid). A covered terrace with bright tablecloths and an abundance of hanging plants makes for a pleasant, if slightly jungle-like, dining experience.

  3. Iglesia de la Encarnación

    The modern town is centred around the Iglesia de la Encarnación. This church was begun in the 17th century and not completed until the 20th, partly due to the fact that the original construction crumbled in the early 18th century.

  4. Molino de Gofio

    A reconstructed windmill where gofio was once ground. The quick tour leads you around the museum and mill. Afterwards, you can taste gofio accompanied by sweet wine. There's also a good restaurant here.
