Holidaymakers to La Gomera should pack three essential items: swimming gear, shorts, and walking boots.
This tiny island in the Atlantic is absolutely perfect for rambling, walking and hiking; whatever your pace, holidays here are about the thrill of being outdoors, surrounded by amazing landscapes and scenery.
The destination is often referred to as a giant bisected orange, with the segments of the fruit representing the valleys, or barrancos, that divide the island. These radiate from the centre, in which the force that created the island now lies dormant.
This volcano is today the site of the island's most celebrated attraction, an unmissable part of any holiday here. The Parque Nacional de Garajonay has majestic mountains, hillsides covered with heather, and one of the world's oldest forests, making this part of the island outstanding for cycling and rambling. Holidaymakers can explore the signposted tracks that lead through the humid, sub-tropical forest that formerly covered most of Europe.

Holiday Reviews in La Gomera, Canary Islands
North from here lie fertile barrancos that are terraced with orange, banana and almond trees, as well as bamboo groves, laden vines and prickly pear cacti. Vallehermosa is a stunning, Eden-like paradise, and means 'beautiful valley'.
South lie arid barrancos of abandoned terraces and deserted villages. To the west are the black sands and pounding waves of Valle Gran Rey, a magnet for surfers. The laid-back capital, San Sebastian, lies on the east coast, and warmly welcomes visitors that arrive for their holidays.
The variety of this amazing island means that no two days here will ever be the same, no matter which direction holidaymakers head in.
