The park is called Garajonay (the same name as Gomera's highest peak) and there is an ancient legend as to how the peak got its name. This is treated like a misty memory: A young boy named Jonay floats, from the island of Tenerife, on inflated goat-skins. Upon arriving on Gomera's shores, he meets the beautiful princess Gara. It's love at first sight, and they decide they'd like to be wed. Gara takes her new paramour to meet her family, who are unfortunately dead set against their marriage. In fact, the tribes-people want to kill the boy from Tenerife! Jonay and Gara flee to the highest spot on the island, with Gara's relatives and tribes-people hot on their heels. On the peak, the lovers place a laurel stick sharpened at both ends at their hearts and are pierced in a final double-suicide love-death embrace just as their whistling pursuers arrive on the scene.
