La Gomera and Southern Tenerife

Gomera and Tenerife are just a 35-minute ferry ride apart: this guide offers walks and tours on both. There are car tours (with picnic suggestions) all over both islands, with pull-out touring maps and plans for the larger connurbations. Walks cover all of Gomera, but only the south of Tenerife (a companion volume, 'Landscapes of Tenerife - Orotava, Canadas, Teno, Anaga' covers the rest of the island, and those going to Tenerife for a long walking holiday, who will be based in the south, should ideally have both books.) Area covered: The book is divided into two parts. The major emphasis is on exploring the whole of La Gomera by car or on foot. But the Tenerife section of the book is also packed with suggestions: there are tours (from Playa de las Americas/Los Cristianos) covering the whole of Tenerife by car, as well as the best walking in Tenerife's south. All the walks and tours in both books were re-walked and re-driven for the 2014 edition and have been revised again where necessary prior to publication of this edition.
