Strap on your boots and discover Southern Tenerife and La Gomera on foot with the Sunflower Tenerife travel guide which includes 70 long and short walks. On the days when your feet may have had enough, enjoy some spectacular scenery on one of our 6 recommended car tours.
The go-to Southern Tenerife and La Gomera travel guide for discovering the best walks and car tours.
Discover La Gomera and Southern Tenerife on foot with the Sunflower Southern Tenerife and La Gomera travel guide. And on the days when your feet may have had enough, enjoy some spectacular scenery on one of our legendary car tours.
This new 9th edition of Southern Tenerife and La Gomera, indispensable for hiking and seeing the islands by car, has been carefully revised on the ground just prior to publication; for instance, it includes a map of the devastating fire damage on the cumbre dorsal in Tenerife. We are pleased to have the collaboration of Jan Kostura on this new edition. He was on Tenerife during the fires and on Gomera subsequently, and he guides on both islands a couple of times a year. Thanks to him the Guergues walk, which was closed to walkers illegally, has been replaced by a new but similar route further north.
The book is for those staying on La Gomera or in the south of Tenerife within easy reach of the Gomera ferry. Since the two islands are just a 35-minute ferry ride apart, the book covers walks and tours on both. There are car tours with picnic suggestions ranging all over both islands, with pull-out touring maps and plans for the larger conurbations.
Walks are described throughout the whole of La Gomera, while for Tenerife there are walks in the south and west. All walks are illustrated with newly drawn 1:50,000 topo maps based on OpenStreet mapping. GPS tracks are available for all the walks, and there are satnav coordinates to the starting points. All ‘official’ signposted and waymarked government trails have been highlighted and numbered on the walking maps – a real plus: if a walker comes across a signpost for a route not fully described in Noel’s text, it can still be used as a short- (or long-!)cut. (Note: those going to Tenerife for a long walking holiday, who will be based in the south, should ideally have this book and Landscapes of Tenerife.)
Area covered: The book is divided into two parts. The major emphasis is on exploring the whole of La Gomera by car or on foot. But the Tenerife section of the book is also packed with suggestions: there are tours (from Playa de las Américas/Los Cristianos) covering the whole of Tenerife by car, as well as the best walking in Tenerife’s south and west.
Whatever your age or ability we’ve got some glorious walks and car tours to ensure you have a memorable holiday in Gomera and southern Tenerife.
Inside the Sunflower Southern Tenerife and La Gomera guide book you’ll find:
70 long and short walks for all ages and abilities – each walk is graded so you can easily match your ability to the level of walk
Topographical walking maps – give you a clear sense of the surrounding terrain
Free downloadable gps tracks – for the techies
Satnav guidance to walk starts for motorists
6 car tours and fold-out touring map – for easy reference on your tour
Strolls to idyllic picnic spots – enjoy our recommendations for where to picnic along the way
Timetables for public transport – ideal if you want to link two walks or avoid hiring a car on your holiday
Online update service for the latest information
Plans of San Sebastián (La Gomera), Playa de las Américas, Los Cristianos (Tenerife) are also included
Whether you tour La Gomera and Southern Tenerife by car or explore on foot, we look forward to showing you around.

Since 1983 people out walking in sunny climes have been relying on our ‘little blue books’ to follow the trails – and to make friends with other walkers. Sunflower started by exploring the Atlantic Islands, but has branched out: we still love islands – from the Azores to Zakynthos – but we cover many mainland destinations too, like land-locked Switzerland and the coastal Basque Country. All our guides have the familiar mix of car tours, walks and picnics. More recently, we introduced restaurants and recipes in our ‘Walk & Eat’ series, which explores around cities from Stockholm to Avignon.
