By Ferry

Two ferry companies operate between Los Cristianos on Tenerife, and San Sebastián on La Gomera. Lineas Fred Olsen, tel 902 100 107, www.fredolsen.es, is quick and expensive. Naviera Armas, tel 902 456 500, www.navieraarmas.com, is slower and cheaper, and also serves El Hierro. Ferries berth almost in the centre of San Sebastián, within walking distance of all facilities and the bus station. Ferries also link San Sebastián with Playa de Santiago and Valle Gran Rey.

Getting around

By Bus

La Gomera has a good network of bus services operated by GuaguaGomera, tel 922 141 101, www.guaguagomera.com. Obtain an up-to-date timetable for the whole island as soon as possible, from bus stations or tourist information offices. Tickets are for single journeys and fares are paid on boarding the bus. Buses are referred to as ‘guaguas’, although bus stops, or paradas, may be marked as ‘bus’. All the towns and most villages have buses. Most visitors do not realise that the little mountain village of Chipude has the best level of services and destinations. The capital, San Sebastián, on the other hand, does not have particularly good links with some parts of the island.
