|
The apartment is situated in a quiet location by the sea at La Playa, which is one of the villages which make up Valle Gran Rey. It is located within a thoughtfully designed small complex in the midst of an attractive garden. It has 2 private terraces, facing either the sea or the swimming pool, which has a children's enclosure, free sun loungers and parasols. There is a small supermarket - which opens 8am - 10pm seven days per week - opposite the apartment, there are several restaurants nearby and the bus stop and nearest bank are 5 minutes walk away. Being so centrally located, a car is not a necessity. Apart from what is probably the best beach on the island, there are several other beaches at walking distance, including a naturist beach. There are many excellent restaurants scattered around Valle Gran Rey, catering for every taste and offering very good value for money.

Travel
Although there is a small airport on La Gomera (18-seater internal flights only), most people fly to Tenerife South. A 20 minute bus or 10 minute taxi ride will take you to the port at Los Christianos from where three ferry companies sail for La Gomera. Although a car is not a necessity, car hire is widely available in Valle Gran Rey for one or more days. Further information about flights, ferry and bus times etc. are available on request.
Distances
La Gomera has a very good local bus service and most places of interest can be visited using this service. Most walkers will use buses for transport to and from walks. Private taxis or share taxis are another option.
Further details
La Gomera is one of the smaller Canary Islands, situated off the African coast. This island would appeal most to those who prefer a relaxed, easy going holiday. La Gomera is less commercialised than some of the islands and you won't find any massive high righ buildings here. What you will find are deep ravines and valleys that cover most of the island, criss-crossed by ancient mountain paths that make La Gomera a paradise for walkers and nature walker's alike. In the centre of the island is the Garajonay National Park, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site, a unique environment for anyone interested in nature. The weather is warm and sunny all year round and the temperature rarely drops below 18 degrees during daytime, although in the mountains and the rain forest the environment can be moist and temperatures lower than in the coastal areas. The weather in the mountains can be changeable, therefore we recommend walkers to take appropriate clothing, especially during the winter months. Apart from walking, La Gomera offers many activities for the adventurous such as fishing, scuba diving, mountain biking, horse riding and guided botanical tours. There are also regular boat trips around the island to watch the whales and dolphins, and there are plenty of opportunities to indulge yourself in a massage, or join a yoga or meditation group. And if you don't want to exert yourself, you can always just relax on the terrace, by the pool or on the beach.
Valle Gran Rey is situated on the West coast of the island and is made up out of several small settlements, and has a very relaxed atmosphere. It has many attractive walks in the immediate area and there is a regular bus service that will take you to the starting point of many other walks around the island. And last but not least, there are many excellent restaurants scattered around Valle Gran Rey, catering for every taste and offering very good value for money.
