San Sebastián de la Gomera

San Sebastian de la Gomera is the main village on the beautiful island of La Gomera. It is the biggest settlement on the island, with about 9,000 inhabitants. It is distinguished by its beautiful colonial centre, with buildings of historical interest. This is where Christopher Colombus stopped on his way to the Americas. Among the various spots of tourist interest, you can visit the Cathedral, the Torre del Conde, built in 1447, and the Columbus Museum. Half a day should be enough to visit the town, because of its size, and don't forget that there are other beautiful places on the island.

There are two companies that run ferries between Tenerife and La Gomera, Naviera Armas and Fred Olsen.
