\u00a0The Guanchas were the original inhabitants of the Canaries whose ancestors most probably were the Berbers from north Arfica who\u2019s ancestors again were of Skandinavian origin. This is due to the Spanish occupation of the Canaries and allowed a connection to Europe. The Gauchas were pale-skinned, tall, well developed and many of them had blue eyes. It is said that they were generally a peaceful race, however, when invaded were prepared to defend their island to the death.<\/span><\/p>\n

La Gomera was occupied for thousands of years by Africa until it was invaded in the 1500s by Europeans.<\/span>
\n\u00a0Since the days of Chrisopher Columbus, who was on the way to India in 1492 and looted water and provisions, the island has also been known as \u2018La Ilsa Colombia\u2019. The Watch tower \u2018Torre del Conde\u2019 and the church \u2018Iglesia de la Asuncion\u2019, where it was said the seamen were blessed, are remnants of the days of Christopher Columbus.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
