Churches in Valle Gran Rey is a self-guided tour of the historic Catholic churches and chapels scattered across the valley and its coastal villages on La Gomera. The route links the 16th-century Iglesia de San Antonio in La Calera with the modern Ermita de San Roque in Vueltas, offering a quiet look at local religious architecture. Visitors walk between whitewashed buildings, observing carved wooden altars, simple bell towers, and the island's blend of Canarian and colonial styles.
