La Gomera, the second smallest of Spain's Canary Islands, offers a refreshing escape from the tourist crowds found on its larger neighbours. With dramatic landscapes of deep ravines, lush forests, and volcanic mountains, this island is a paradise for hikers and nature lovers. The ancient laurel forest of Garajonay National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, stands as the island's crown jewel. Visitors can explore charming villages like San Sebastián, where Christopher Columbus made his last stop before sailing to America. The island is famous for Silbo Gomero, a whistled language locals use to communicate across deep valleys. From La Gomera, travellers can easily catch ferries to Tenerife, with regular services departing from San Sebastián port to Los Cristianos. The journey takes approximately 50 minutes, making it perfect for island-hopping adventures in the Canaries.
La Palma, known as 'La Isla Bonita' (The Beautiful Island), is the greenest of the Canary Islands and a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. This volcanic island offers spectacular landscapes ranging from lush forests to dramatic cliffs and black sand beaches. Visitors can explore the Caldera de Taburiente National Park with its massive volcanic crater, or stargaze at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory, one of the world's premier astronomical sites. The island's capital, Santa Cruz de La Palma, charms with its colonial architecture and colourful balconies. The Los Tilos forest, a prehistoric laurel forest, provides excellent hiking opportunities. Every 4 years, La Palma celebrates the Bajada de la Virgen festival with traditional dances and processions. From La Palma, ferry connections are available to other Canary Islands including Tenerife, Gran Canaria, and El Hierro, making it an ideal base for island hopping.
