Just peace & quiet in harmony with nature and all the goodness she has to offer. |
|  | Escape from Tenerife La Gomera remains unspoilt (at the moment) by tourism.
It has a quiet rugged beauty. Sub tropical climate creates an abundance of plants, trees & fruits.
The roads which snake up & down the mountains & valleys remain quiet, if not a trifle hair raising.
It is a walkers paradise - stroll out and listen to the bird song - take in the excellent lush scenery and admire natures miracle in transforming volcanic rock into a botanical paradise. |
Nature really does get to show off All forms of vegetation come alive at the Garajonay National Park visitors centre.
Plants from the South America's & other sub tropical places flourish in the year round warm temperatures.
Interestingly, common garden plants are seen too, but much larger than I can grow at home.
Truely a gardener's paradise! | | | Flora & Fauna in abundance |

Isla de la Gomera does indeed look like a wonderful unspoiled place- not very left on Earth sans McDonalds! The photos are good, complimenting the tips. | yumyum Wed Apr 1, 2009 19:15 UTC
I haven't been to that part of the world yet but it looks well worth exploring! Hope that the tank and ceiling will be fixed for good soon! | Nemorino Wed Mar 11, 2009 23:37 UTC
La Gomera really does sound like "the most fortunate of the Fortunate Islands", at least as long as it stays so quiet and unspoiled. I love your opening photo of those terraced hillsides. | jumpingnorman Fri Feb 20, 2009 00:14 UTC
Beautiful scenery here in Gomera! I have to explore these islands someday, Norman :) |
