10 Sights & Landmarks in La Palma That You Shouldn't Miss
La Palma is a pristine paradise, set against a backdrop of volcanic landscape. Perhaps the best way to experience La Palma’s rugged beauty is a hike through the Caldera de Taburiente National Park or the narrow gorges of Los Tilos. The cool waters of natural swimming hole Charco Azul beckon on a steamy day. The dark sands of Playa Nueva are great for sunbathing and cat naps.

Although the road to get there is "the long and winding road" it is certainly worth the effort.The views from the top and on the way up are spectacular.If you are on the island of La Palma this visit is a must. When we set off from the coast it was cloudy but at the top it was a beautiful sunny day.

Took the bus here from our hotel, about €3 each way for the two of us. The salt flats are a self sufficient business with walks around the outside of the salt pans. There are plenty of information boards to read on the way around in multiple languages to give you a better understanding of what you are looking at. It doesn’t take long to complete the walk, perhaps 45 minutes. There is also a restaurant and small shop to pick up products and have a drink/food. Lovely views and some interesting content. Worth a visit I’d say.

At first when I saw this signposted I was a bit ambivalent. What could be so interesting about a banana plantation? Well, to answer that question in short; "All of it"'. It's so much more than just a plantation. It shows the visitor a symbiotic self-sustaining eco-system. A different, so much better kind of farming. If only the rest of agriculture would make some progress in this direction. Besides a nice walk in a mesmerising scenery, you can expect an informative (and funny) tour by the owner of the plantation. A man with a mission and a clear message to the world. I'm very much aware €20,- seems a bit steep as an entrance fee. But I can assure you it's definitely worth it. Just don't look at it as a fee, but as a donation towards a good cause. You'll understand why ;)

Went up by car - you can book a free parking space in advance on the Spanish National Parks website. An hour slot was enough time for us to walk to the viewpoint at Lomo de las Chozas and back again (with picture breaks). Also stopped to look at the friendly ravens.

Best kept secret on La Palma! Great place to swim in crystal like waters! Very difficult to get to, because the very narrow 4kms road plunges towards the sea in a series of steep hairpins! In Tijarafe, turn into the calle Molina right after the Kiosko del Diablo, and drive slowly down and down and down until the small parking lot. Then, 10 mns walk will bring you to the spectacular sea cave where a few fishermen houses have been built years ago! The water is just gorgeous, and just a little fresh which is quite pleasant in the summer. You can dive into the sea, or use the ladder nailed into the rocks. Bring good shoes, sunscreen, water, and a small towel as there is not much space to lay down onto the rocks! Just magical!
