;img.crop(width:658%2Cheight:370))
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.

Scenic La Gomera
La Gomera moves at a much sleepier pace than its Canary Island neighbours. The island’s main attractions are its lush valleys, rocky mountains and sprawling greenery, and this driving tour will give you a great introduction to the landscape. It begins in the peaceful capital, San Sebastián, where you’ll board a coach at the city’s harbour, before trundling past the rainbow-coloured houses that tumble down the hillside. Once upon a time, San Sebastian was the HQ of Christopher Columbus, and you’ll pass La Asuncion Church where he and his crew attended mass before setting off to find the new world. Leaving the capital behind, you’ll head south to Los Roques de Agando, a well-known viewpoint that looks out over a surreal rock formation. After a photo stop here, you’ll continue through the pretty villages of Chipude and El Cercado, the latter of which is famous across the island for its beautiful pottery. There’ll be a final stop in the middle of the island in La Laguna Grande, where you’ll enjoy a demonstration of the local whistling language, ‘El Silbo’. Afterwards, you can sample some of the local liquor, Gomeron – a sweet mix of grape juice and brandy – before you head back to the ship.
