Gomera Walking would like to share these moments with you. Here in La Gomera you soon realise that beauty and nature go hand in hand. You can hear and see beauty all around you while you walk.  Sit and listen to the soothing sound of the goat-bells, as the goats graze in the mountains , and hear the occasional cronking  of ravens or the distant squeal of a hawk. These are often the only sounds you'll hear to break the quiet stillness of the island.  In spring the mountains turn green with new growth with splashes of white from margaritas, yellow from Cerrajones and purple from the Tajinaste (indigenous species).  The lush evergreen forests are carpeted with spring flowers. Stop and listen you may hear the sound of the wind passing through the branches of the trees.......

The night skies in La Gomera are wonderful. With so little light pollution to spoil your view you can stargaze for hours. So if you are a stargazer and like to sit quietly and enjoy the gentle sound of the waves lapping on the shore as you gaze at the sky you have a surprise. The Cory's  Shearwaters which come ashore to breed in the cliffs have arrived! These fabulous seabirds have colonised the cliffs in La Gomera. Here in Santiago we have a large population. They are nocturnal on land and can provide hours of entertainment as their ghostly shapes swoop and dive around you calling out their distinctive  calls as they go.
