Golf Asia - February 2018

GOLF ASIAGOLF ASIA 7777

continuous descent with constant sea

views. Wearing shorts and tee shirts with

a slap of sunscreen, we smile together in

satisfaction as we hit our drives on a mid-

week morning, and think of all the poor

souls back in chilly England, fighting the

traffic on their commute to work.

It’s on our return journey back to San

Sebastián in the afternoon to catch the

ferry back to Tenerife, that we get to really

appreciate La Gomera’s volcanic origins

and dramatic landscapes - the result of

frantic geological activity that according

to experts stretches back some 10 million

years. Since then, erosion has painstakingly

transformed the surface grinding down

hillsides and mountains and carving out

deep ravines into the coastline.

La Gomera, like the other Canaries, is

The port of Los Cristianos on Tenerife
where ferries leave for La Gomera.
