Luisa | Director

The daughter of the founder of Los Telares, Maruca, is continuing the family tradition. She moved back with her family from Tenerife to her hometown to take over the company of Los Telares. With the help of her husband and family she has managed to raise the standard of Los Telares even higher.

Her passions: History, food, wines, trekking and nature.
Her favorite spot of La Gomera: El Cedro. As child, she spent many vacations there with her parents.
Favorite local dish: Potaje de Berros (Watercress soup). Try it with fresh onion and local cheese. It can fix anything, from hunger to hungover.
Her recommendation: Grab a taxi to go to Contadero. From there downwards you can see all the valley of El Cedro, view Hermigua from the waterfall and get back to the door of Los Telares in around 5 hours. No need to rush! Also, you can take our take-away meal to have it at the shade of the trees by the Chapel of El Cedro.

His recommendation: Visit San Sebastian at least once during your stay.
