A taste of tradition

Like the rest of the Canaries, La Palma locals love a festival. Los Indianos is one of the biggest, and a tribute to the island’s relationship with Cuba. Expect white outfits, talcum powder battles and plenty of music as the streets come together for an unforgettable island celebration.

Tales of time gone by

From pirates to volcanic eruptions, this cool capital has seen its fair share of dramatic events that have shaped it into the place it is today. Time your visit right and catch the city’s vibrant re-enactments, where actors bring this history to life.

Pretty plazas

Not only is Plaza de España a popular meeting point for locals and tourists alike, it’s also home to some of the island’s most important buildings, like the City Council Building and the Church of El Salvador. Don’t miss Plaza de la Alameda – it's also home to the Naval Museum.
