Today we would like to provide you with some information about La Palma and tips for you to know.

La Palma is the fifth biggest and the most north-westerly of the Canary Islands. It has not yet been spoilt by mass tourism and is the perfect place for an escape from the your daily routine. If you are a nature lover, we recommend the Caldera de Taburiente National Park. The national park offers a spectacular landscape, containing various hiking trails. If you like to stay on the ground or prefer to be airborne, you have the following options; motor bike or mountain bike trips, as well as horseback riding or paragliding.

Thanks to the many tiny restaurants and sweet desserts (which are mainly served with almonds) the delicacies of the island won’t stay hidden from you. Like on the other Canary Islands most main dishes are prepared with potatoes, chickpeas, olives and garlic. A nice bottle of self-cultivated wine goes down well with all these dishes.
