Pick up the pace in Tenerife
While La Gomera appreciates life in the slow lane, a short boat trip takes you over to Tenerife, where the pace is significantly faster. The south coast has some of the best nightlife in the Canaries – check out Playa de las Americas, in particular. The shopping here is worth a mention, too – prices in big-name shops, like Zara and Mango, are usually cheaper than in the UK.
