If some was to ask you to name all the Canary Islands and most people can normally drum up the big four – Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura. Little La Palma often gets missed out. But that’s where its appeal lies. It’s quiet, it’s peaceful and it’s far from the madding crowd. You won’t find any of the telltale marks of mass tourism here. It is also the home to the European space agencies telescopes that spy on the universe.
What you get is a more authentic picture of the Canaries – one of whitewashed houses, colonial buildings and tasteful low-rise resorts, like Fuencaliente and Playa de Los Cancajos. And then there’s La Palma’s trump card – its scenery. Think mountains cloaked in pine trees and dramatic, almost theatrical-looking ravines. No wonder the locals call it La Isla Bonita – the Beautiful Island.
Like the rest of the Canaries, La Palma has a volcanic past. It’s sprinkled with volcanoes and bizarre geological oddities, including the largest volcanic crater in world, La Caldera de Taburiente. The famous ‘volcano trail’, down in the south of the island, meanwhile, will get keen walkers scrambling for their hiking boots. And along the coast, La Palma’s volcanic black sandy beaches are a hit with sun-worshippers.
