La Palma – known by locals as ‘La Isla Bonita’
The fifth largest of the Canary Islands, narrowly beating La Gomera and El Hierro, La Palma is the most north westerly island in the archipelago, found off the north western coast of Tenerife. Unlike islands such as Lanzarote and Gran Canaria, La Palma isn’t a bustling tourist hotspot, making it the ideal location to engage with nature and discover what the Canary Islands were originally like before mass tourism took over.
Often referred to as an ‘undiscovered gem’, La Palma is a peaceful haven made up of white-washed fishing villages, tasteful quiet resorts and dramatic mountain scenery which you’ll never tire of. Add all that to the fact that its skies are some of the best in the world for star-gazing and you’ve found yourself a true nature lover’s paradise – all less than a five hour flight away from the UK.
Santa Cruz de la Palma is the capital of the island, found on the eastern coast. The port of call on many European cruise itineraries, this city is full of beautiful historical buildings which line cobblestone streets. Here you can wander around for hours on end, soaking up the Canarian atmosphere, indulging in some retail therapy at the market and reenergising by enjoying a café con leche in a local café.
There is a handful of historical points of interest found in Santa Cruz de la Palma, too, such as a castle and a replica of the Santa Maria ship.
Puerto Naos is one of the two tourist resorts on the west coast of La Palma. Here you’ll find a few winding streets where most of the accommodation is located, a wide range of bars and restaurants, souvenir shops and supermarkets, as well as a gorgeous black sand beach.
Los Cancajos is the other tourist resort on the island and is the most developed village in La Palma, despite holding onto its off-the-beaten-track feel. Like many of the resorts in the Canary Islands, Los Cancajos’ most appealing factor is its dark volcanic beaches which are ideal for enjoying lazy sun-kissed days and refreshing dips in the sea. The rest of the resort is made up of modern hotels, shops, bars, restaurants, walking trails and a great choice of excursions.
Fuencaliente in the south of the island is a popular place for travellers to visit, thanks to the numerous natural attractions which call the area home.
Made up of numerous character-full hamlets, this region is where you’ll find the San Antionio en Tenaguia volcanoes, several vineyards, numerous saltpans and two lighthouses, one of which contains a museum. The raised parts of Funcaliente are known for their volcanic landscape which is covered in beautiful pine forests, whilst the coastal regions feature stunning black sand beaches which provide the ideal environment for scuba diving.
Perfect for travellers who revel in the great outdoors and want to connect with the traditional aspects of the Canary Islands, La Palma offers everything you need for a truly relaxed holiday away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
La Palma – Canary Islands
La Palma is one of the seven main inhabited islands of the Canary archipelago, which are washed by the waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
Small in area (728 sq. km.), La Palma is the fifth largest and third largest in the number of inhabitants of the Canary Islands.
The coastline La Palma is mostly rocky, so there are few beach spots. But in their magnificence, they are not nearly inferior to the beaches of other Canary Islands.
The most favorite for tourists is the Cancajos beach, located near the village of Breka Baia, which consists of several bays. The water in them is so clear that it is simply difficult to resist diving. And in the village of Puerto de Naos, there is a delightfully beautiful black sand beach.
Lagging behind the islands of Gran Canaria and Tenerife in tourism development, La Palma can easily boast of its originality, tranquility and lush nature. It is noticeable even from the coast. Rising from the waters of the Atlantic Ocean to a height of 2426m is a huge mountain, all covered with greenery.
The north of the island can surprise with its Laurel-Cherry forests, densely overgrown ravines, which are most often covered with fog.
For lovers of the beautiful and unique, the island has national reserves – Parque Natural de Las Nieves and Parque Natural de Cumbre Vieja. It is here that you can walk along specially laid paths and enjoy a truly rare natural beauty. And these beautiful forests are preserved thanks to the fertility of young volcanic soils and a large abundance of water.
At La Palma there is also the Palmitos Park – it is the largest butterfly sanctuary, but you can also meet exotic birds, the number of which is about 230 species.
Another natural attraction is the volcanic ridge (La Caldera de Taburiente). Stretching from the north across the island, it ends in the south with Tenegia volcano, which last erupted in 1971.
La Palma is called the most beautiful of the islands of the Canary archipelago. And the absence of industry preserves a special mood: regularity and calmness, which is literally immediately transmitted to people who have chosen this particular island for recreation.
In addition to rich nature and magnificent architecture, La Palma can also surprise you with its cuisine. Traditional cooking with olive oil, the quality of vegetable and animal fat, lard and a variety of products are appreciated all over the world. And that’s why Spanish cuisine is classified as a tourist attraction.
Behind the current tranquility of La Palma lies an island rich in history. This can be seen by the number of architectural sights of the capital of the island Santa Cruz de La Palma . In a small town with a population of 18,000 inhabitants, there are many narrow streets, where many old buildings are located: the Church of the Savior, with a high bell tower (Iglesia Matriz de El Salvador) built in 1503; the Town Hall (Ayuntamiento) in the style of the Italian Renaissance, which has been standing since 1569; stone fountain 1776 All this can be seen in the city center on a small triangular Plaza of Spain.
Another maritime museum in the capital is a life-size model of Columbus’ ship, the Santa Maria.
Not to mention the fortress Santa Catalina (Castillo de Santa Catalina), which during the time of piracy, protected the city from attacks.
The Spanish constitution maintains free religion, but the predominant religion is Catholicism. Therefore, La Palma has its own religious sites – this is the sanctuary of the patroness of the island Nueatra Senora de Las Nievas (Madonna of the Snows), which is located north of the capital. Once every five years, on the feast of the Appearance of the Madonna, a great event takes place for local residents, the Madonna is brought to the church. And on May 3, you can see an unusual holiday called the Day of the Cross in Santa Cruz de La Palma, where locals organize a competition of decorated crosses.
One of the largest resorts on La Palma is Puerto de Naos with excellent black sand beaches.
This is a small village in which the inhabitants are focused only on meeting the needs of tourists.
Good holidays, combined with gourmet cuisine and ancient architecture, all this will be a great addition for lovers of solitude with nature.
