La palma -- Turism
Santa Cruz de La Palma is a beautiful city with a colonial air which retains in its historic quarter, declared an Historic-Artistic Site, numerous palaces, colonial buildings and houses built in the traditional Canary style. Nor should we forget its churches and the Sanctuary of the Virgen de las Nieves, the setting for a century old tradition: the descent of the patron saint of the island. The enormously varied landscape housed by what is known as the “pretty island” is accessible from the capital of the island. An authentic natural paradise which offers the possibility of practising hiking among volcanoes and laurisilva woodland in any of its protected areas, among which stands out the Parque Nacional de Caldera de Taburiente.
There are various place of interest to visit on the island, such as Los Llanos, the second most important city on the island; El Paso, well known for its hand produced silk and cigars; Mazo, where you can visit the preHispanic cave of Belmaco, and Fuencaliente, a wine producing area.
La Palma is an authentic natural paradise which offers numerous oppportunities for practising hiking. A national park and two natural parks reflect the high ecological value of the island.
The Caldera de Taburiente National Park covers an extensive territory in the centre of the island in which a spectacular crater with a diameter of eight kilometres and mountains of over two thousand metres high can be seen. From the miradors or by walking along the numerous paths in the crater you can discover this unique volcanic landscape, covered with exuberant vegetation with numerous local species. In El Paso and Roque de los Muchachos there are visitor centres, which offer all kinds of information on the routes through the park, as well as showing the park and the island through exhibitions and audiovisual displays. There are information points at the main access roads to this area. Visitors who wish to stay in the park overnight have a campsite available (Los Llanos-Los Brecitos track) and a Campsite-Nature Study Area for organised groups.
The Parque Natural de Las Nieves is proud to house one of the largest concentrations of laurisilva in the Canary Islands (a group of local plant species which disappeared from Europe during the Tertiary Era). Meanwhile, in the southern area of the park there are mainly pine trees and various protected plant species. A curious note lies in the fact that within its boundaries is Los Tiles, which has been declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO.
In the south of La Palma is the Cumbre Vieja Natural Park, with a landscape which reveals the volcanic nature of the whole island. Within the park are abundant examples of Canary pine and laurisilva woodland.
