La Gomera is the one of the smallest of the Canary Islands with the fewest residents. Tourists are often amazed at how dissimilar it is from the other islands as the tourist industry has not had such a big effect here and the ambience is still relatively calm and the pace of life much slower. With its sunny winter weather La Gomera is well-liked by holidaymakers from northern Europe who book a luxury villa rental Spain or beachfront holiday rentals Spain here, particularly in the wintertime.

La Gomera benefits from wonderful weather which has made this region a favourite with tourists from the U.K. who can book an apartment rental Spain direct from the property owners. Blessed by warm weather between November-March when the temperature rarely drops below 18°C, thanks to its proximity to Africa, the island is a popular winter sun getaway. So if you are hoping to have a relaxing walk along the beach in the winter sunshine holiday villas or apartments to rent in La Gomera could be what you are looking for!

When you have booked your holiday villas or apartments with the property owner, you will need to decide how you are going to get to La Gomera. As it is one of the smaller islands it only has a local airport with a limited number of flights to Tenerife and Gran Canaria. However there is a regular Catamaran and Ferry Service which links the island with Los Cristianos in the south of Tenerife. Therefore if you book an apartment rental Spain on La Gomera you can take advantage of a cheap flight to Tenerife and then take a taxi transfer from the airport to the ferry port and cross to San Sebastian in about 40 minutes.

If you are looking for beachfront holiday rentals Spain, Vallehermoso has a good beach and interesting cliffs called Los Organos – the name refers to the curious form of the rocks. It is a beautiful area where you can see banana-trees, sabine-trees and palm-trees.There are also many other ways to spend your time if you book holiday villas or apartments to rent in La Gomera. During your holiday, it is well worth taking a boat trip to see dolphins or whales. Regular dolphin-spotting trips leave from Vueltas in Valle Gran Reay. If you enjoy sailing or diving why not explore the island’s waters, where you may be lucky to see octopus, stingrays, parrotfish and even seahorses. With self-catering holiday villas or apartments you will be able to sample the local cuisine. The island has many excellent restaurants and the specialities include fish dishes served in the Canarian style with potatoes and spicy mojo sauces.
