Product Description

La Gomera An introduction (Chapter One)
Do you fancy a week or a fortnight,s break from the British winter (or summer come to that) walking around a delightfully exotic island (out in the Atlantic at the same latitude as the Western Sahara), with each night a cheap pension in a different village, all at a total cost, for one week, including plane, insurance, train to Gatwick, ferry, accommodation, food, drink, presents, postcards, taxis, etc. of about 400 pounds sterling? If so, this booklet could be for you, since there is no other guidebook in English to the island of Gomera near Tenerife which details such a circular walking tour or which details places to stay, or which is kept so up-to-date.

From the Author
If you knew of a small unspoilt paradise such as this one, would you tell all and sundry? With much hesitation I decided to do so, since future tourist development of the island is inevitable and already underway, and the more that this development can be oriented towards relatively harmless walkers staying in small pensions and people,s homes, rather than towards the present plan for multi-storey hotels in tourist complexes, so much the better.

I am a lover of islands and have visited many of the Greek, Italian, French and Spanish islands of the Mediterranean, but Gomera, in the Canaries, 40 minutes by hydrofoil ferry from Tenerife, is the most beautiful and varied of them all.
