  • In january I solo hiked and backpacked the GR 131 and a part of the GR132 on the island La Gomera.
    The island is part of the Canary Islands.

    Hey! Amazing shots and really cool video :) Wanted to ask, did you struggle to find water sources? Is it easy to change the hike paths (GR132 and 131) so as to eat in some venue/restaurant once every few days?

    • @YensBastiaens
      @YensBastiaens  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      There aren't many water resources along the way. I only saw 3-4 public places to get water except stores/restaurants etc that ofc had water, but better carry a filter to fill up in those public places. I don't know if it's potable water. You don't really come along any stores on the GR 131, but you come across enough towns on the gr132 to eat somewhere every few days. The gr 131 should take max 3 days, but 2 if you're a quick hiker. The GR 132 and 131 cross eachother in the north and south part of the island.
