We're discovering the wonderful landscapes of La Gomera, an island in the Canary archipelago 35km from Tenerife, which is unspoilt by tourism and a hiker's paradise.
A fairly challenging route from the village of Arure to Taguluche, 800m below. The descent is steep, but the scenery is breathtaking.
A very mineral landscape, then a final descent through tiered gardens to finish on the lava paths by the sea.
