The island is administratively divided into six municipalities: San Sebastián de La Gomera (the capital), Vallehermoso, Valle Gran Rey, Agulo, Alajeró, and Hermigua. La Gomera is renowned for its dramatic volcanic landscape, featuring deep ravines, lush forests, and the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Garajonay National Park, which preserves one of the last remaining laurel forests in the world. The island's unique geography and isolation have contributed to the preservation of the Silbo Gomero, a whistled language used for long-distance communication across its steep terrain.
