Attractions

La Gomera is the least populated and smallest of the islands, at 25 km from west to east and 22 km north to south.

La Gomera is a great place for the adventurer among us, with the forest of the Parque Nacional de Garajonay and the wild and rocky countryside, it provides great walking and hiking tours. Its quiet and relaxed atmosphere, with little in the way of distractions like its neighbour Tenerife, is suited to those seeking to get away from it all.

Parque Nacional de Garajonay, San Sebastián, Valle Gran Rey and Playa Santiago are among the places and sights to see in La Gomera.
