I would like to tell you about my holiday experiences on the island of LaGomera.
LaGomera is one of the lesser known Canary Islands. It's got lots of dramatic scenery, lots of fabulous walks and great all year round weather. It is nothing like any of the other Canary Islands. It doesn't have great beaches, but it does have a rain forest. The main way tourists reach it is by flying to Tenerife and getting a boat across. That's my first negative about the island. Tenerife is approximately 4 hours by plane from the UK, so if you get an early flight, you can be on the beach by mid afternoon, but not if you are going to LaGomera. You have to travel from the airport, we hired a car at the airport, to take over to LaGomera with us; travel to the harbour in Los Cristinos and wait for the ferry. We pre booked on the catamaran, which takes ...

Advantages: Quiet, scenic, fine weather Disadvantages: Cabin-fever
only for links with the other islands. I was there 18 months ago on a coach trip. This is how it was, and hopefully still is.
There is not much accommodation on the island, just a handful of hotels in the area of the main port. The roads are spectacular, and to avoid misunderstanding, most drivers of large vehicles stick to "clockwise-only" when circumnavigating the island. There is a central park of natural rain-forest (not the hot sweaty sort though, since it's frequently wreathed in wet clouds) and a museum of nature. LaGomera has more species of flora than France!
I'm not sure what you would do here for a whole holiday, unless it was to finish your first novel, or read several of someone else's, but of course that could be its attraction - decent weather for most of the year, combined with peace and quiet. ...

Advantages: Beautiful dining room Disadvantages: Bedrooms adequate but not elegant.
We stayed at the Hôtel Restaurant La Flambée in Bergerac in November 2008 for two nights and enjoyed breakfast and dinner. What follows is an honest account as possible about the hotel as I can provide. Hopefully this may help if you are planning to visit this part of the world.
We flew to Bordeaux but the most convenient airport for the hotel is actually in Bergerac as the hotel lies about 2 miles outside the town. Incase you are not familiar with this part of the world these places are in the main wine growing areas, and are in South West France. Flying time from the UK is about an hour and a half if you are flying from the London areas. Easyjet will take you to Bordeaux from Luton, likewise British Airways will fly you from Gatwick, and Ryanair will fly you from Stansted to Bergerac. This area is great as it is possible to use as ...
