A semblance general

- The Roque de los Muchachos: This is the highest point of the island, at more than 2400 meters above sea level. From here, the panoramic views are simply breathtaking, allowing you to observe the Atlantic Ocean and, on clear days, even other islands of the Canary archipelago. In addition, the Roque de los Muchachos is home to one of the most important astronomical observatories in the world, where the clean and clear sky of La Palma will allow you to admire the stars like never before.

- Land of volcanoes: La Palma has been formed through millions of years of volcanic eruptions. Volcanoes have played a fundamental role in creating its rugged topography and fertile soils.

Volcanic activity on La Palma has been documented since pre-Hispanic times. Historic eruptions, such as that of the San Juan volcano in 1949 and the Teneguía in 1971, have left scars on the landscape and have been crucial events in the lives of the island's inhabitants. However, one of the most significant and recent events in the volcanic history of La Palma is the eruption of the new Cumbre Vieja volcano, also known as Tajogaite Volcano.

- The Fuencaliente Salt Flats: It is a place that enchants, it brings together all the functions of our Biosphere Reserve: it is a site of scientific interest, a place of passage for migratory birds. It is a sample of the small productive industry that once knew how to make its way and stay standing thanks to the work of a family. And it is landscape, gastronomy, local products and the essence of a summer sunset. You cannot be in La Palma without visiting this place.

- A visit to the local markets: Immerse yourself in the daily life of the people of La Palma by visiting the local markets. There is almost one per municipality, and each one has its own idiosyncrasy, some of them, more bustling and popular like the one in Puntagorda; others more traditional like the one in Villa de Mazo and El Paso; and others of more recent creation that are already gaining importance like the one in Puntallana or Barlovento. In them you can find fresh and authentic products from the hands of their producers and a great representation of the abundant local craftsmanship.

- The black sand beaches: La Palma is famous for its black sand volcanic beaches, which offer a unique and breathtaking landscape, especially those more pristine and wrapped by the rugged surrounding relief. Enjoy a day of sun and sea on beaches such as Los Cancajos, Tazacorte, Charco verde, even Santa Cruz de La Palma or Bajamar, but do not miss other wilder beaches where the dark sand contrasts beautifully with the deep blue of the ocean.

Always consult the freshness of the day and the type of cooking appropriate for each product.

- Taste our wines: La Palma is also a land of vineyards, with a long winemaking tradition that is reflected in the quality of its wines and is endorsed by its Denomination of Origin "LA PALMA".

Its intense flavor and creamy texture make it a real delicacy that you can not miss.

Start your day exploring the island's trails, visiting viewpoints, and ravines... and end it with a refreshing swim in the sea, or vice versa. This duality is one of the many wonders that make La Palma a unique destination.

- With a Caribbean flavor. In case you didn't know... for many years, sometimes entire families, and sometimes only the men, emigrated mainly to Venezuela and Cuba, in order to raise their families and make a fortune in "the Americas". You can perceive this imprint in our culture, starting with how common it is to find Venezuelan food such as arepas, cachapas, tequeños, fried yuka, etc. on the menus of the cafeterias. And in the famous celebration of "Los Indianos" that takes place every Carnival Monday, everyone recreates the return of those who emigrated, who came back wearing guayaberas and white clothes, caricatured with humor, with accessories such as suitcases and wads of bills, of the luck they had on the other side of the ocean.
