La Gomera
The most north-westerly of the seven Canary Islands, La Gomera has the lush vegetation you would expect of a land with a sub-tropical climate, abundant rainfall and high temperatures throughout the year. Its capital, Santa Cruz, is a lovely, uncrowded small town where a leisurely walk is the best way to appreciate the attractions of this old Spanish colonial port. (View current weather)

La Palma
Home of one of the worlds most spectacular volcanic craters, La Palma is a relatively unsophisticated Canary Island with one of the prettiest towns, Santa Cruz. With volcanic activity as recent as 1971, the island is covered with lava and ash and is very mountainous. (View current weather)
