  La Gomera
The island is almost a circle with a cross-section of about 15 kilometers, but due to all the ravines it takes 35 km or more to travel from one coast to the other.
In the middle of La Gomera lies the National Park Garajonay, a typical forest with laurel trees and beardy mosses.
La Gomera is attractive for walkers (who are not afraid of heights), the people who seek sunny beaches can better stay on Tenerife (although Tenerife has some wonderful spots too).

 Gomera, English titles
La Gomera is made for nature-loving walkers, and offers an incredible variety in its countryside: Idyllic valleys with terraced fields and palm groves stand in contrast to precipitous cliffs and spectacular gorges; the magical laurel forests of Garajonay National Park are countered by pine forests and banana plantations.
These walks range from comfortable paths through palm-studded valleys, to tranquil mountain strolls, to panoramic summit climbs – hiking trails through the dreamy, misty primeval forest are mentioned, as well as the partly paved caminos, which once represented the main connecting roads between villages.
This excellently researched guide is enhanced by outstanding colour photos and map excerpts based on the Freytag&Berndt hiking map of Gomera (scale 1:35,000), and is highly recommended to all mountain fans of the island.
