Well, the sun goes down significantly to the right of La Gomera. But there is a very special phenomenon: The sun is already setting well above the horizon. Because at this point lies the island of Santa Cruz de la Palma, invisible from here. Through the refraction of light you can see the sun going down behind the mountains of Santa Cruz. So you see a setting sun above the sea level ... But not the island, because this is about three times as far away as the horizon. Fantastic!
