The summit of La Gomeras owes its name to the legend of Gara and Jonay. A prince of La Gomera named Jonay fell in love with the beautiful Gara of Tenerife. He even swam through the sea so that they could reunite. But this love was a thorn in the side of their people. The lovers were persecuted and fled to the mountains of La Gomera. There they were pierced by an arrow on top of the mountain. Tragically the legend. What has remained is the place named after the unhappy lovers Garajonay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
