Volcanic mountains, ancient misty forests, and balmy days by the ocean—welcome to La Gomera, the hidden, crowdless gem of the Canaries. This holiday season, consider soaking up the sunshine on this enchanting island west of Tenerife with other venturesome women! This subtropical destination has it all—from hiking trails winding through thick swathes of lush green to pastel-hued coastal villages lined with palm trees. Some say that La Gomera is an island lost in time, but everything it has to offer is very much in vogue. Spend one or two serene weeks in this Atlantic paradise and spend your time well—on hikes along dramatic cliffs or afternoons in the spa, visits to a national park or nights spent gazing at the stars—with a glass of wine. Cheers!

Go on a whale watching tour on Christmas or New Year!

dep about Walking Women on Tripadvisor

From the little I have experienced on my holiday with WW, I can see people and places are carefully selected, and held to a high standard with prices that remain almost affordable for all; curated to make the guest at ease at all times wether in the intinerary of the walks or the destination hotel/B&B stay. As a solo traveler I’m only sorry I didnt discover it sooner 🙂
