La Palma

Wander off the beaten path and explore this deserted seaside village. Desribed as "Palma's best kept secret", this remote village consists of quaint but abandoned fisherman's houses sandwiched in to caves and cliffsides, overlooking crystal clear water perfect for swimming and diving.
Do & See
La Palma attracts adventurous types – leisurely sunbathing is often overlooked in favour of hiking the island's volcanic landscapes, exploring verdant laurel greenery and discovering the magic of Roque de los Muchachos Observatory. La Palma's weather conditions are excellent for paragliding, and although beaches are far from being the island's primary appeal, there are a few attractive swimming locations dotting the coastline.
