Tours to Beaches in Spain

An excellent holiday with an excellent leader. San Sebastián is a delightful small town with very few tourists. Our hotel was central and comfortable. The walks covered all that La Gomera offers, with the added bonus of a trip to the desert landforms below Mount Teide on Tenerife at the end. Raquel our leader was well- informed and enormously helpful. A lovely and sociable group was a bonus.

This trip works well. Tenerife has lots of flights and so is very accessible. The ferry to La Gomera takes you away from mass tourism, and the island itself is varied and attractive. We had a great trip with varied walks and some nice meals out in the evening. The group got on well and the group leader/guide was excellent. An added bonus was the transatlantic rowing competition from La Gomera to Anguilla was taking place the following week so we had the opportunity to meet participants.

La Gomera is a quiet and very scenic island. Walks were often challenging with quite a few steep and rocky downhill paths, but some of the scenery was stunning. Very knowledgeable and helpful guide.

This was a fabulous trip. La Gomera is very quiet compared to other islands in the Canaries. The walking is fabulous with great scenery but be prepared for a fair amount of downhill. We requested that the optional walk be reversed to be predominantly uphill and it was so much better. The hotel was very comfortable with good breakfasts. By choice, we ate out as a group each evening and ate well at a variety of restaurants very close to the hotel. Our tour leader, Raquel, was exceptionally good, as I have come to expect with Explore. This was my 16th trip with Explore and it was as good as always.

It was enjoyable trip, covering different parts of the island. There was time on some days for a paddle or swim, and always a cafe at the end of the walk!! The transport was excellent and always prompt. There was a pool at the hotel, so odd times early return to hotel allowed for a dip. The kitchen arrangement in each bedroom with a fridge made it convenient for making hot drinks and lunches. The leader was excellent and very aware of each person when on rough terrain.

La Gomera is an excellent place for a walking trip - if you like steep paths and great views. The hotel got all the essentials right and was very conveniently located in San Sebastian. There are many good and reasonably priced restaurants nearby. We had a great mix of people in the group and the leader was professional, well organised and personable. Another very enjoyable Explore trip.
