We were picked up in El Medano around midday (well – after a bit of confusion of where to board the bus); it took us half an hour to get over to the port of Los Christianos.

The ferry made the 40km crossing from Los Christianos to San Sebastián de La Gomera in about an hour. After a quick transfer to the hotel, I went out, to have a first look around the small capital; La Gomera certainly had a more laid-back and slower feel to it.

I first made it over to the Church of the Assumption, from here on to the Mirador de la Hila with good views of the harbor and from here on to the Torre del Conde park. Dinner was in a local fish restaurant.
