Introducing La Gomera
Scored with plunging ravines and surrounded by seemingly impenetrable rock cliffs, La Gomera’s endless dips and rises were forged by volcanoes and sculpted by erosion. A verdant pre–Ice Age laurel forest dominates the centre, while green banana plantations fill the valleys. Beautiful, unspoilt La Gomera offers excellent hiking opportunities and plenty of good beaches.
