Exotic and unspoilt, La Gomera has small sandy beaches as well as dramatic mountains and deep valleys covered in ancient laurel forest as a backdrop to its rural charm.
Created by the same volcanic activity that formed the rest of the Canary Islands, tiny La Gomera, visited by Colombus during his epic voyage to America, comprises steep craggy slopes leading up to a lush central peak swathed in ancient, sub-tropical rainforest. Relatively untouched by tourism, the heady scent of bougainvillea and hibiscus fills the air and life on La Gomera is peaceful, serene and traditionally Canarian.
