From the ferry approaching San Sebastian Gomera looks like huge muffin with high. Rocky coast on both sides. San Seba is a little, charming town with a breakwater protecting marina and two ferry docks. I was walking to the nice coastal promenade looking for reliable info, but the tourist office is far away – near the church. Columbus was here on his voyage to discover America!
They surprisede on the office – I got for free the road map of the island, 25 kms wide and a map of the walking trails. But the best news was that they have public guagua network. I will catch the linea 1 bus to reach my accommodation on the other side of the island – 49 kms away! Paying only 5 euro!
Linea 1 timetable shows 5 departures per day. If you go straight from the first ferry to the guagua station you will catch the first guagua at 10.30. I didn’t, so I had enough time to photograph the best know monument of San Seba – stoney Conde Tower…
Just before midday I boarded green bus and we started to climb the mountains. If you sit just over the driver with the map such a 1,5 hours journey is like cheap excursion across the island. You will pass canyons, gorges, rain forest and little villages. The views are gorgeus! Gomera is so different! After almost 2 hours I reached my hostel Casa Escuela in Valle Gran Rey on the black coast. Very interesting day!
