Top Things to do in La Palma
Top 10 Specialty Museums in La Palma, Canary Islands
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.

On a beautiful island, find the quiet village of El Paso with its bold murals. Then step back into the cottage industry of silk weaving, to discover that this delicate, painstaking work is thriving! Our guide, Vincente, took us on tour from Santa Cruz. The drive was stunning and the ladies spinning delicate threads from the silk worms were mesmerising. This small and quiet display also houses beautiful finished garments through history. Designer, Manolo Blahnik, a resident of the island, brings it bang up to date. The rainbow colours were just beautiful to see. Refreshingly there was no gift shop.

A spaceship of a building, this modern design contrasts with its content;the early history of the first people on the Island - which predates Stonehenge. Interesting displays, that could benefit from more of an explanation. We particularly liked the reconstruction, and design of the original inhabitants stone huts. Some of the significance of the exhibits passed us by - probably due to the language barrier. Worth visiting.
