GR-132 on 130 kilometres along the wild coast of La Gomera<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Track<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

On La Gomera there are the GR-131 and GR-132 long-distance hiking trails. While the GR-131 runs through the centre of the island’s heights, the GR-132 hiking trail runs roughly parallel along the coast. I have described my hike on the GR-131 from San Sebasti\u00e1n over the heights of La Gomera to the Valle Gran Rey here<\/a>. Now I would like to start describing the individual sections of the much longer GR-132 long-distance hiking trail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officially, it is approx. 130 kilometres long and divided into 8 stages. And if you follow these really challenging stages, you walk anti-clockwise around the island. I don’t know exactly why, but I decided to run clockwise around the island. That’s why we started with stage 8 of the GR-132.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the GR-132 from San Sebasti\u00e1n to Playa de Santiago<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This section takes you on the GR-132 from the small capital of La Gomera, San Sebasti\u00e1n, to Playa de Santiago. The route is around 23 kilometres long and takes you steeply up and down through several ravines. Through the many barrancos, you have to overcome a total of almost 1100 metres of altitude. That’s a tough start, especially if you have to do it in the heat and in Calima (which unfortunately was the case for us).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
