La Palma – Most Beautiful of Canary Islands’ Itinerary
3rd October 2018+
Tag: La Palma
La Palma, one of Spain’s captivating Canary Islands, is often dubbed “La Isla Bonita” (The Beautiful Island), a nickname it lives up to with its dramatic volcanic landscapes, lush laurel forests, and stunning night skies. Unlike its more arid neighbors, La Palma is remarkably green, thanks to abundant rainfall and a unique geological structure that channels water effectively. This verdant environment makes it a paradise for hikers, offering trails that wind through dense forests, ancient lava flows, and the spectacular Caldera de Taburiente, one of the world’s largest erosion craters. Beyond its natural beauty, the island is a global hotspot for astronomy, home to the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory, benefiting from exceptional atmospheric conditions that offer some of the clearest views of the cosmos on Earth.
