La Gomera La Gomera No Data

Description


The third smallest of the Canary Islands, located off the Western coast of Tenerife. The island is roughly circular showing it's origins as a large volcano. Over the millennia the sides of the volcano have been worn away by water flow creating deep ravines and gorges which thanks to their different positions and amounts of sunlight have created unique environments. A large part of the island is covered by the laurisilva or laurel rain forest, which thanks to the trade winds hitting the island forming dense clouds in the 700-1400m altitudes where the forest are sees rain some 300+ days a year, just not the day I visited!
