View north-west

Above is a view from 'Mirador de Vallehermoso' La Gomera's Garajonay national park taken earlier this year on a very clear day. It shows an uninterrupted view north-west with La Palma island's two peaks looking very close, but that's an optical illusion as it is about 70 kms away. Stunning anyway, but taken with a 'phone camera and in reality it was more impressive. La Gomera has lots of excellent well chosen viewpoints and a bit more about these HERE...

Have a rest...

I took this photo recently at El Cepo near Las Rosas in La Gomera's north, a geologically very interesting area

The Trap

Above image shows part of the spectacular landscape at El Cepo near the village of Las Rosas, close to La Gomera's northern coast. 'El Cepo' translates as 'The Trap' and indeed there are many traps in the area, as there are precipitous drops and no marked paths. However, La Gomera's steep landscape contains lots of vertigo-inducing cliffs and mountain passes, so caution is always advised.
