La Gomera Information
La Gomera is a relaxed, unsophisticated island with a population of just 16,000 people living mostly in the capital, San Sebastian, or the villages of the north.
If you want the feeling of being alone with nature, then this is the place to be. Due to its volcanic origins, the island’s scenery is dramatic, mountainous,
very beautiful and different from anywhere in Europe.
La Gomera has got a beautiful climate all year around. The nicest time to come here is between late autumn and spring. The temperatures at the cost are always between 20 - 25 C° but in the mountains it can get cold from time to time. Rain is possible in the winter months, though the risk of rain is remote in the southern and southwestern parts of the island.
So rugged is the island that before telephones, Gomerans developed a language of whistling to communicate from valley to valley. With a little practice you
can place an order for an ice cold beer or a gin and tonic ready for your arrival. Just Whistle.
La Gomera's highest point is the Alto de Garajonay at 1,450 metres and there is very little flat land at all due to the deep ravines (barrancos) that cut into the island from the central highlands.
At a latitude of just 28° north of the equator, the temperature varies little between winter and summer, ranging from a winter average of 19° to 25°
in the summer, although higher up in winter it will be cooler. The benign climate allows the cultivation of a wide variety of exotic crops grown on
ingeniously built terraces. It also means you can enjoy Gomera all year round.
