More than a protected space, a space for the protection of individuals
La Palma Ecotourism Commitment
Biosphere Reserves are unique places where it is necessary to harmonize the conservation of nature and cultural values with responsible economic and social development.
This Biosphere Reserve covers the entire island of La Palma, including its Marine Reserve, its spectacular sky and the people who give meaning to this recognition for its history and uniqueness.
This harmony of the values inherent to the territory and the sustainable development of the community go hand in hand as a commitment and a responsibility of its inhabitants and visitors.
An island of contrasts and a universe of sensations
La Palma, Biosphere Reserve
La Palma is known as"The Green Island" and "The Beautiful Island" for a thousand reasons. With a percentage of more than 50% of its territory protected, it hides in its 708km² a representation of landscapes, traditions and diverse gastronomy; but, above all, an island full of contrasts, as if it were a miniature continent.
La Palma is friendly and authentic, with a mild and moderate climate, clear skies and pure air, full of stories to tell: an aboriginal past, pirate invasions, a melting pot of cultures, returning migrants, myths and legends, and a people eager to celebrate their popular traditions.
Don't miss its local products, its handicrafts, its historic corners and the calm and peaceful character of its people throughout its 14 municipalities.
