La Gomera moves at a much sleepier pace than its Canary Island neighbours. The island's main attractions are its lush valleys, rocky mountains and sprawling greenery, and this driving tour will give you a great introduction to the landscape. It begins in the peaceful capital, San Sebastián, where you'll board a coach at the city's harbour, before trundling past the rainbow-coloured houses that tumble down the hillside. Once upon a time, San Sebastian was the HQ of Christopher Columbus, In La Asuncion Church he and his crew attended mass before setting off to find the new world. Leaving the capital behind, you'll head south to Los Roques de Agando, a well-known viewpoint that looks out over a surreal rock formation. After a photo stop here, you'll continue through the pretty villages of Chipude and El Cercado, the latter of which is famous across the island for its beautiful pottery. There'll be a final stop in the middle of the island in La Laguna Grande, where you'll enjoy a demonstration of the local whistling language, 'El Silbo'. Afterwards, you can sample some of the local liquor, Gomeron - a sweet mix of grape juice and brandy - before you head back to the ship.
