Immensely interesting topography which includes a volcanic mountainous region ripped by gouging ravines and structured by craggy, scarred rock cliffs, valleys filled with banana plantations, a central ancient laurel forest and a multitude of stunning beaches all make for a La Gomera summer holiday of spectacular beauty. The awesome landscapes are perfect for walking so one thing to definitely pack for a La Gomera summer holiday is the hiking boots. Worthy of special mention on the walking trail are the sculptured terraces of Valle Gran Rey.

A trip up the dormant volcano would be a serious omission from a La Gomera summer holiday as would be leaving out a trip to the island's capital San Sebastian where many of the town's attractions are linked to Christopher Columbus including La Casa de la Aguada and the aptly named Plaza Americas where you can start your Columbus trail with a cooling drink at one of the many bars and pavement restaurants. San Sebastian is the only place of any major size so if you want to shop enjoy fine restaurants, or find an upbeat nightlife on a La Gomera summer holiday, this is where it happens.

For the sun seekers, Playa de Alojera is considered to be the best beach whilst nature lovers looking at a La Gomera summer holiday would find the prospect of the La Garajonay National Park tantalising.
