Did This Tiny Town Really Change The World?

Explore San Sebastian de La Gomera, the sleepy capital with a world-changing secret. In this 2025 travel guide, I uncover the real history of Christopher Columbus's last stop, the brutal story behind the Torre del Conde, and the best viewpoints you can actually visit. Welcome to San Sebastian de La Gomera, the charming port town and capital of this incredible Canary Island. While it may seem quiet on the surface, its history is anything but. This was the final staging post for Christopher Columbus in 1492 before he sailed to the Americas, and I'll visit the very church where he and his crew prayed, the Iglesia de la Asunción. Join me as I uncover the truth about the town's most prominent landmark, the Torre del Conde. Far from a romantic defence against pirates, this fortress holds a dark and brutal history involving the local Guanche people and the infamous ruler, Beatriz de Bobadilla. I'll explore the laid-back modern town, from its relaxing volcanic sand beaches to the surprising Olympic Torch monument on the seafront. I'll then show you how to get the absolute best views over the town from the hills above, and where to find the Faro de San Cristóbal for a stunning sea view across to Mount Teide on Tenerife. It's a perfect example of what makes travelling in La Gomera so unique! This is the essential guide to understanding the heart of the island.
