Art exhibition

An exhibition of paintings by La Gomera residents Peter Evens and Didier Ngoie will continue until March 26th in  the historic 'Casa de Colon' in San Sebastian de La Gomera. The two artists from Belgium were affectionately known as 'The Sunflowers' in Valle Gran Rey when they operated a restaurant calle 'Los Girasoles' and later the bar at Lomo del Riego.

Rockfall in Valle Gran Rey

Short video of dust plumes taken at the end of a rockfall in Valle Gran Rey between Lomo del Riego and Borbalan (see images of another nearby: A spectacular landslide and rockfall ). These rockfalls and landslides happen every now and then as a result of loosening material due to temperature changes, erosion and especially after rain. In most cases, as in this one which happened about three weeks ago, no harm is done as houses are usually built well away from areas where rocks may fall, preferably on the top of ridges, called 'lomos'.
