Garajonay National Park, Spain
From series “Top 15 Unesco Sites in Europe”
Travelers who enjoy natural attractions would like to visit the Garajonay National Park in Spain. It is located on La Gomera Island, which is part of the Canary Islands. The park has the same name with the rock that is the highest point of the island. The area of the national park is 40 square km. The significant part of the territory is covered by a laurel subtropical forest.
Evergreen laurel trees can reach a height of 40 meters. According to the researchers, once such forests covered a significant part of modern Europe, but today they are preserved only in the Canary Islands, the Azores and Madeira. In addition, the Garajonay National Park features a lot of endemic plants. The main inhabitants of the rainforest are birds and bats.
