Spain Risco de la Mérica, La Gomera
The Risco de la Mérica is a towering peak above the beaches of Valle Gran Rey in the southwestern part of La Gomera. On the edge of the cliff, you find two "summit flags" which symbolize the hippie cult of the island.
Photography Tips
Place a person close to the flags to give your photo a personal character. Make sure to have a fast shutter when the wind is strong so that you have a sharp image of the flags themselves.
