NP Garajonay National Park
(Spanish: Parque nacional de Garajonay, pronounced: [ˈpaɾke naθjoˈnal de ɣaɾaxoˈnai̯]) is located in the center and north of the island of La Gomera, one of the Canary Islands (Spain).
It was declared a national park in 1981 and a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986. It occupies 40 km2 (15 sq mi) and it extends into each of the six municipalities on the island. The park is named after the rock formation of Garajonay, the highest point on the island at 1,487 m (4,869 feet). It also includes a small plateau whose altitude is 790-1,400 m above sea level. The park provides the best example of Canarian laurisilva, a humid subtropical forest that in the Tertiary covered almost all of Southern Europe. It is also found on the Azores and the Madeira Islands.
