Parador La Gomera
The "Island of Columbus" - the little round island of the unique "whistling language." La Gomera has what is thought to be the oldest forest on the planet - located in the mist-shrouded Garajonay National Park.
There are few beaches here - this island is for hiking in the wilds, strolling the streets of the main city, San Sebastian, or just relaxing in the stylish Parador La Gomera (official name is Parador Conde De La Gomera).
The Parador La Gomera here (view from entrance below left) has an interesting mix of architectural styles . The view across the ocean to Pico del Teide on Tenerife is breathtaking. They have a well-cared-for garden of subtropical species and a fine restaurant that serves dishes you'll find nowhere else in the world.
