Villas La Gomera 31-01-2022 La Gomera - Villas Punta Negra

National Geographic Travel magazine places La Gomera as "hiking paradise" in its January issue. The most important travel magazine in the country places the island on the cover of its 263rd issue, on sale since the 20th of January, and dedicates an 18-page report to the island, highlighting its natural assets, including the best laurel forests in the Canary Islands and their excellent conservation.

The island's Councillor for Tourism, María Isabel Méndez, explained that this important report was written by Josan Ruiz, director of National Geographic Travel magazine, "with whom we at La Gomera Tourism actively collaborated so that, last November, he travelled to the island to get to know it first hand, to live the experience, and that this was captured in this report for the enjoyment of all readers". He also encouraged readers to buy a copy of the magazine, "in which La Gomera is the only destination in Spain to appear in this issue".

The report features spectacular photographs that take us on a tour of the island's orography, including the Garajonay National Park, a World Heritage Site since 1986, the El Cedro forest and the Roque de Agando; the Los Órganos Natural Monument, the Abrante viewpoint in Agulo, the Pedro and Petra rocks in Hermigua, the historic quarter and the Juan de Vera ravine in San Sebastián, the San Isidro hermitage in Alajeró, and the landscape of terraces and whale-watching in Valle Gran Rey.

Throughout the text, the corners of La Gomera are explored, paying special attention to its landscapes and the island's tradition and history associated with them. Special attention is also paid to the network of more than 650 kilometres of trails that the island has, making it one of the best destinations in Europe for hiking and active tourism activities of this calibre.

Gastronomy is another of the fundamental pillars of La Gomera, and this is reflected in this publication through mentions of its cheeses, gofio and the process of making guarapo and palm honey, as well as the variety of crops grown on the island.
