The Fiestas Colombinas are a tribute to La Gomera’s place in world history (the final provisioning stop of Columbus’s voyage) and emphasize local identity through historical remembrance. They coincide with Catholic celebrations (Gobernadores Colombinos) and are an occasion for all corners of the island to come together.
