La Gomera is the Canary Islands stripped bare. Its beaches are quiet, its villages are sleepy and its countryside is fleeced with forests and dramatic mountain ridges. The catalogue of valleys and ravines make the island an obvious choice for walkers. But trekking isn’t the only activity on offer here. Scuba divers can swim through bath-warm waters as they search for tuna, parrotfish and trumpet fish.
Get your money’s worth from your camera in the Valle Gran Rey. This green ravine is corralled by mountain scenery and it looks out over the sea.
Lace up your hiking boots for a walk in El Cedro Forest. The pearl in the oyster here is El Chorro waterfall, which is nearly 400 metres tall.
Chorros de Espina is a natural spring set in the heart of a forest. Legend says, it’s waters are medicinal, and can even make a woman fall in love.
