Travel Information

In our travel information section, you can find information on whom to call in an emergency, or to where to block your credit card. And of course, you can find information on pharmacies, opening times, customs and immigration and much more.

Pharmacies

In every larger district, you can find a pharmacy (farmacia). The pharmacies can be recognised by their green Maltese cross. mehr

Medical Care

Some places on La Gomera have a „Centro de Salud“, which can take care of any medical basics. However, Spanish is generally the only language spoken there. mehr

Camping

Wild Camping is forbidden on La Gomera. mehr

Documents and Immigration

EU-citizens can remain in the country for an unlimited period of time. Pensioners and people without an income are however, still required to apply for a residency permit. mehr

Photo and Film

Because of the strong colour contrasts and intensive light conditions, it is recommended to use film which is less sensitive to light (50 to 100 ASA). mehr

Money

As in all of Spain, the currency of the Canary Islands is the Euro. All major credit cards are accepted in lots of shops and hotels. mehr

Opening Times

The Gomeras take the Spanish siesta to heart. Little happens in the stores or on the streets of the smaller towns in the hours of mid-day. mehr

Language

Spanish is spoken on the Canary Islands. South-American influences can also be heard. mehr

The Weather and the Holiday Season

Nowhere in the world is the climate so pleasant as on the Canary Islands. La Gomera enjoys a temperate climate throughout the entire year. Especially during the cooler months, the island attracts many Central Europeans. mehr
