Garajonay National Park

On a sunny and hot day, we drove almost to the top of the island, walking the last kilometre to the Alto de Garajonay at 1484m. where we had a splendid 360 degree view of the surrounding landscape. We continued down a trail in the Garajonay National Park through the ancient Laurisilva cloud forest, unique to La Gomera,Tenerife and La Palma. We stopped for a picnic lunch at the chapel of Nuestra Senora de Lourdes before continuing down the Barranc del Cedro, a deep ravine surrounded by lush vegetation with a bubbling stream at the bottom. The trail continued through the village of El Cedro before we were met by the coach to return to San Sebastian.
The 10km walk had 300m of ascent and 900m of descent.
Dinner was at a fish restaurant near the beach where you could choose from the catch of the day.Read more
