The villages on top of La Gomera are widely known as the cloud villages, with Las Hayas, El Cercado and Chipude being the famous trio, situated more than 1000m above sea level in the heart of the island. Some days these villages are basking in sunlight, other days they are obscured completely by clouds. Irrespective of the weather, these villages are a joy to explore by foot, with a drink in a local cafe as a treat at the end.
