Gomera, now La Gomera, is the sixth-largest of the eight main Canary Islands. It appears only in one Sfera map. Note that its name is easily confused with the Biblical toponym Gomorrah, which also appears on some Sfera maps.
This toponym does not appear in the poem, only on the maps accompanying it.
