Flights to Tenerife are very reasonable, currently staring at around-8. The largest of the Canary Islands, Tenerife is a popular destination among UK travelers. Tenerife generally has two busy seasons. The first is during the winter when it experiences an influx of older tourists escaping winter’s chill. The second extends from May to October, with families and college students on holiday.

The island of La Gomera, located some 40 miles West of Tenerife is an escapists dream. Unlike its bigger cousin there are no nightclubs or fancy bars but it offers the nature lover a diverse and spectacular landscape to explore.

Shaped like an orange squeezer with deep barrancos and about 15 miles wide the island is home to the Garajonay National Park - a World Heritage Site http://reddeparquesnacionales.mma.es/parques/garajonay/index.htm .

The rainforest consists of Laurel or Laurisilva which at one time covered much of Western Europe. Pollution, man and climate change decimated large areas of this fauna but the isolation and clean air of La Gomera’s micro climate has ensured its survival. At present the biggest threat comes from summer fires.
