La Gomera, the second-smallest of the main islands in Spain’s Canary Island chain, is marked by craggy volcanic mountains crisscrossed with hiking trails. In higher altitudes, dense forests of ferns and moss-covered trees grow in the mists of Garajonay National Park.

This island is quite the opposite of Tenerife and Gran Canaria. Here is no party scene, no discos, no loads of bars, obnoxious tourists, etc. If you want to have some peace and quietness on your holiday, La Gomera is your place. Excellent hiking trails through the lush green landscape with stunning views make this island a true pearl.
