La Gomera really is somewhere special. Breathtaking landscapes, idyllic Canary Islands climate, ancient laurel forest, massive gorges, high ridges, outstanding flora, unspoilt villages; this is perhaps as close to paradise as it is possible to get. Such a special island deserves only the best, so no compromises have been made. Routes have been walked, and re-walked, until we are satisfied that we have the best route descriptions possible.
