Reiseführer La Gomera mit 20 Wanderungen und Faltplan

Relaxation and tranquility in magnificent nature await you on a trip to La Gomera. The second smallest and wildest island of the Canary Archipelago is round in shape and a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve: the evergreen laurel forest in the center of the island feels like a magical realm, while the sun-baked ravines in the south appear as semi-deserts. But it’s not just the scenic contrasts that attract visitors: here, you can swim at lava beaches, hike along well-marked trails, or simply enjoy a leisurely lifestyle – the laid-back, cozy everyday life of the Gomeros is contagious!

This comprehensive travel guide describes all the interesting places on the island: the mountainous east, the sunny south, the dramatic west, the green north, and right in the middle, the Garajonay National Park. It takes readers to fascinating rock fortresses and palm groves, subtropical valleys, and vibrant slopes. A total of 20 hiking tours lead through jungle-like laurel forests with ancient, gnarled trees at the foot of the island's highest mountain, the 1,487-meter-high Garajonay, to remote mountain villages and solitary canyons. For those looking to mingle, the lively atmosphere of Valle Gran Rey, Playa Santiago, and San Sebastián awaits.

Each chapter begins with a double page that presents the contents along with an overview map of the region, highlights, and page references. Of course, the guide includes tried-and-true practical tips for travel questions from A to Z. In the extended preface, there are overview pages with descriptions of all regions, a yearly overview of festivals and events, route suggestions, and personal top tips from the author. Many special pieces of information, such as travel advice and various activity options, serve as helpful planning aids. Detailed excursions into history, land, and people also distinguish this up-to-date travel guide, along with a small Spanish language guide.
