Accommodation

Accommodation is abundant around La Gomera, and much of it can be booked online through www.airbnb.com or www.booking.com. At the top end of the scale are the Parador at San Sebastián and the Hotel Jardin Tecina at Playa de Santiago. There are other hotels around the island, as well as simple pensións and self-catering apartments, with prices to suit all pockets. The Hotel Sonia in Chipude is an excellent base, not only because of the immediate variety of walks but also because it has good bus links.

Food and drink

La Gomera is self-sufficient in terms of fruit, vegetables and fish. While some restaurants are cosmopolitan, others offer good local fare. Specialities include goat cheese. Most is eaten just as it is. Some goat cheese, but only a little, is used to make an oily sauce called almogrote. Watercress soup (sopa de berros) sounds bland but is very tasty. Wrinkly potatoes (papas arrugadas) cooked in salt are surprisingly refreshing in hot weather, served with hot mojo roja sauce and gentler mojo verde.
