Accessibility
This apartment is not suitable for anyone with walking difficulties or prams/pushchairs as there are 2 flights of stone steps up to the entrance. A taxi can stop at the bottom of the stairs on a one-way system that runs through Calera but its generally quite steep and rustic in and around the area.
Outside
This property affords a garden with a huge avocado tree.
Coast/Beach
There are a number of beaches in Valle Gran Rey starting in the north with Playa del Ingles which is a wild and rugged naturist beach. Currents can be strong and caution should be exercised when bathing here. Further along comes Playa Maria which is the main stretch of beach and is usually safe for bathing. Moving south we come to Charco del Conde which is a small bay, always safe for bathing but not very deep. Then comes the harbour beach of Vueltas, always safe to swim and good for snorkeling.
Golf
There is a Golf course in Santiago which is 20 minutes away from the port of Valle Gran Rey with the Garajonay Express fast ferry.
Travel
Arriving in Tenerife south airport, take a taxi to the port of Los Cristianos (about 20 minutes). There you will find the Garajonay Expres (www.garajonayexpres.com) which offers a fast Hydrofoil trip to Valle Gran Rey (about 90 minutes), these boats go 3 times a day. Car hire can be arranged but its better to do this on the Island. Once at the port of Valle Gran Rey your accommodation is a five minute taxi ride away.
Distances
La Calera offers 7 family run restaurants where it`s also possible to have a quiet drink. The main nightlife and shopping areas are in Playa Maria and Vueltas, both a ten minute walk away. This makes La Calera the ideal place to get away from it all and not have to worry about noisy bars and discos. There is a bank at the bottom of the village with a cash dispenser about 5 minutes walk from your accommodation.
Further details
La Gomera is arguably the most beautiful of the Canary islands. Being volcanic contributes to its special charms with deep cut valleys and rockfaces. The highest point, the peak of Garajonay in the centre, rises 1.478 m above sea level from where you can see mount Teide with its summit above the clouds. Looking down the barrancos or valleys disappearing into the sea there is a tropical feel with jungle type vegetation. The top of the island which would once have been the crater of the volcano is covered with sub-tropical rainforest which has a mystical, magical allure.
