The village of Agulo is characterised by its charming cobble stone lanes, together with its well-kept typical houses. An ideal walk takes us trough the lanes to the square, where San Marcos church and the Town Hall are to be found.

As for the natural environment, you should not miss the country area of Las Rosas and La Palmita, where the traditional terrace plantations are in perfect harmony with the interesting shapes and colours of the mountains. Walking further up, you will come to the Garajonay National Park and the laurel-tree nursery of Meriga, a space reserved for the reproduction of the laurisilva.

On the coast, you can find a concrete structure standing on pillars that used to be a loading dock, which was financed by the local community in 1908, in order to help the agricultural development of the area. Walking along Hermigua beach towards Agulo, you will find the neighbourhood of Lepe, with its magnificent views above the sea. The municipality of Agulo has an extensive network of walking paths, connecting the different areas, therefore allowing the visitor to enjoy breathtaking views, like the one of Los Pasos. The views from the Mirador de Abrante, Montaña del Dinero and Mirador del Roque Blanco are unforgettable, too.

Saint Marc´s Festival

Saint Marc is the patron saint of Agulo and gives his name to the church in the village. An important festival takes place on the 23^rd and the 24^th of April. However, the most significant event is the twelve bonfires which are lit on the eve of the 24^th. The bonfires are fulled with sabina wood and are about 1 metre high, with a distance of 2 metres between them. One lit, in front of "Saint Marc" image, the neighbours jump over the whole row of fires screaming "Fire, fire!".
