CANARY ISLANDS Island of contrasts The second smallest Canary Island, La Gomera, is green and fertile due to the trade winds in the north and is perfect for hiking. The Garajonay National Park in particular is a popular excursion destination and was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A circular walk takes you though the mystical cloud forest to beautiful vantage points and the tiny mountain village of Las Hayas. From Vallehermoso, you will get a fantastic panoramic view of the hilly green countryside and the sea behind it. In the south, sun worshippers really get their money‘s worth; with a mostly cloudless sky and sandy beaches, it is the perfect spot for a bit of relaxation. San Sebastián is the capital city of the small island with large plazas, where locals meet to exchange news and where children play. Christopher Columbus was said to have once replenished his water supplies at the fountain of the former customs house. Route T2 • T3 • T4 • T5
