La Gomera mid February
I went to La Gomera many years ago, mostly through Ray Stephenson's glowing account of the place. I was not disappointed then and this time was even better, because I knew the place and saw even more than last time.

Thank you. The Hotel Jardin Tecina in Playa Santiago. It's quite a good place to stay, as it is on a bus route and the ferry stops there, too.

Thanks Liz. If you don't mind I will PM you for a few more details.
Re: La Gomera mid February
Did you see any Ceropegia dichotoma? I’ve seen them on Tenerife but wasn’t sure if they grow on the other islands.
Re: La Gomera mid February
Thanks for the post, I particularly enjoyed the Euphorbia canariensis.
