Over 440km (273 miles) of walking on La Gomera are described in this book, divided into 27 days. There are 17 one-day walks, signposted as rutas (routes), and a further 10 days signposted as GR (gran recorrido) routes, which can be linked together as long-distance walks. Very few of these routes stand in isolation, and most of them link with one, two or more adjacent routes, so there are options to alter and adapt them, and some routes feature significant variants and extensions.

Readers will notice that the GR131 is described across La Gomera and El Hierro, offering coast-to-coast routes. In fact, there is much more to this trail, which stretches across all seven Canary Islands. Furthermore, the trail is part of the pan-European E7 route. On a more local scale, the GR132 offers a circular long-distance walk around La Gomera, taking anything up to a week to complete.
