Why traveling by ferry from Valle Gran Rey to San Sebastián?
You'll only have to take a quick look at the lay of the island of La Gomera to realize that road travel is certainly not a piece of cake! The travel time by car between the two locations is longer than the sea crossing. The road, although scenic, is quite winding and reaches an altitude of almost 1500 meters! Therefore, the ferry may be the best way to reach San Sebastián: you will have the opportunity to arrive directly in the capital of La Gomera in 70 minutes, comfortably seated inside the ferry or enjoying the sun and the view on the upper deck!
IMPORTANT: Vehicles are not allowed on the ferries from San Sebastián to Valle Gran Rey, except for bicycles! However, their presence must be indicated when booking and places are limited.
Discover San Sebastián de La Gomera
San Sebastián, capital of La Gomera, is the most populated town on the island and the one that offers the most services, both to locals and tourists. Here you will find the best accommodations, numerous restaurants, as well as the best centers for water sports. There is no shortage of historical nods, which you will be able to find as you stroll through the streets of San Sebastián: in fact, this city was founded in the 15th century and was of fundamental importance at the time of the conquest of the Americas. You can visit the Church of the Asunción in Plaza Mayor, the Columbus House Museum, the Count's Tower, and the Hermitage of San Sebastián, built in 1530.
Then don't miss the beautiful beaches of Playa de San Sebastián and Playa de la Cueva, a short walk from the port.
The town lies in front of the coast of neighboring Tenerife: from here ferries depart daily to Los Cristianos. Want more details on ferries from Valle Gran Rey to SS de la Gomera? Read below!
