La Palma-Exquisite holiday on the greenest island of the Canaries
La Isla Bonita – An island of colors, stars and natural wonders
A green paradise
La Palma is a place where the colour green shines in all its shades. The majestic Canarian pines and the mysterious laurel forests dominate the landscape. These ancient forests, which spread out in the valleys of the island, invite hikers to explore the unspoilt nature on well-marked trails. The laurel forests in particular, such as Los Tilos, take you back to a time when nature was still completely untouched.
The volcanic soul of the island
The island is not just green – it is a true kaleidoscope of colors. The volcanic landscapes of La Palma tell the story of the island’s formation. Black, ochre and red characterize the lava fields, volcanic cones and rock layers that were formed during the last eruptions. These landscapes create an impressive atmosphere in which the raw power of the earth can be felt.
A look at the stars
La Palma is not only a paradise on land, but also in the sky. With its certification as a Starlight Reserve, the island offers one of the best places in the world to view the starry sky. On night tours or independently at one of the many viewpoints, you can experience the magic of the clear skies. You might even spot a shooting star!
Beneath the water’s surface
A small paradise is hidden not only above, but also below the water surface. The clear coastal waters are home to a unique underwater world with volcanic formations, caves and rock arches that attract divers and snorkelers from all over the world. For bathing enthusiasts, the natural lava pools such as Charco Azul and La Fajana offer a perfect opportunity to relax in the crystal clear water.
A culinary finale
Before you leave the island, you should definitely try the typical desserts of La Palma. The famous almond biscuits and the delicious Príncipe Alberto, a chocolate mousse, offer a sweet end to an unforgettable holiday on the Isla Bonita.
