  • Impression of my trip to La Gomera (Canary Islands) in the first week of March 2020. I spent 6 days in total, walking 132km, mostly along the GR131 and GR132 trails. It’s a wonderful island, perfect for walking, taking you from barren rocky canyons to lush laurel cloud forests, and from secluded pebble beaches to quaint colorful villages. Enjoy the trip.
    I made a complete hiking guide video for this trip: • Hiking Guide - La Gome...

      Hello, how difficult is it to find budget long term appartments to rent for winter?

    • @JabberKiwi
      @JabberKiwi Рік тому

      @@wilhelmsvideon9206 Hi, it is not easy to find (cheap) apartments lately. If you don't want to pay the "tourist" prices you need to rent for 6 months minimum. And you can't be sure to find something when you arrive here. Cheap hostels/pensions cost about €25 - €35 per night, shared bathrooms.

    Wow, great doc you made there. Very nice shots and angles. I walked there 10 years ago (only 60km) and recognize many spots,
    There is one place, (I can't remember the location), it was so strange, the environment changed from hot dessert with cacti, into damp misty forrest in about zero meters. It was so so strange. You were walking into a different world instantly.
    It was a wonderful trip. and I can see you had a wonderful trip as well. Thanks for sharing.

      Wow, that's a pretty wild scenario. That pretty much never happened, ever, but that's the thing with fears of course - they're irrational. It still happens that my heart gets racing when I hear strange sounds at night, but every single time, all is well, and I get back to sleep. Start small, with friends, or in a garden, and build up from there!
