La Gomera 2021, Spain

firstly it turns out differently and secondly than you think 🤪. we actually wanted to take the bus to the laurel forest today, but after neither the first nor the second bus drove (fu**ing app), i enjoyed a cortado at the bar central first. gabi then decided on a rother tour, but i wanted to walk next to the well-worn rother for once. so i consulted the maps and then off i went. first i meandered along the villages and that took a lot longer than expected. here the bar owner involved me in a conversation, there the hotel owner. here the old woman chatted with me on the terrace while cleaning vegetables, there the grandpa while watering the garden. and everything in a strange mixture of english, french, spanish and german. GREAT! finally i left the villages behind and it went *really* uphill, that was the steepest tour so far and the descent had alpine qualities. without hiking poles i would have been lost. how lucky that i decided against rother i met no tourist on the tour, it seems like most of them consult such guides. luckily the tour was only 7 km long, but it was 600 meters up and down. without the chit-chats in the villages i would probably have done it in 3 hours, but that would only have been half the fun.Leer más
