If you're looking for peace and quiet in a stunning landscape then La Gomera, one of the Canary Islands, is the place for you - unlike the other Canary Islands, it doesn't have a wild nightlife. Hiring a car in La Gomera lets you explore the entire island, as it only spans 14 miles from north to south and 15 miles across. This is an idyllic destination for those who enjoy walking, hiking or bird watching. Eat in small family run restaurants, or visit the National Park - whatever you choose to do here, you're guaranteed utter tranquillity.
Visiting La Gomera. Rent a car in La Gomera and drive the short distance to the centre of the island, where you'll reach the Garajonay National Park which is one of the world's largest areas of laurel. This laurel actually covers around 70% of the park, and 10% of the island as a whole. When hiring a car in La Gomera make your way to Oceano Whale Watching, venture out into the ocean, and observe the euphoric whales and dolphins in their natural habitat.
