Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
National Park
Caldera de Taburiente
The Caldera de Taburiente gives access to deep relief profiles and spectacular views, but above all to the silence of the rocky route. The contrasts between shadow and light on the walls create a geological narrative in motion. An unhurried walk allows you to capture the details without losing yourself in the monumentality alone.
Summit and observatories
Roque de los Muchachos
The Roque de los Muchachos The views are powerful, but the most striking moment is often the moment when one stops between two views to observe horizons, clouds and terrain lines. The clear day reinforces the scale of the summit.
Historical city
Santa Cruz de La Palma
Santa Cruz de La Palma combines a historical frame, shopping streets and observation points to the bay. One feels a moving city where heritage is crossed by everyday life. Walking early in the day leaves time to read balustrades, materials and transitions between more open and intimate areas.
