La Isla Bonita is often the pet name given to La Palma. One of the smallest Canary Islands and the most volcanically active, the last eruption was the Teneguia volcano in 1971. La Palma is a place of wondrous natural beauty and is unspoilt by masses of tourists - the perfect place to go for a cheap, peaceful holiday!
Things to Do in La Palma
The biggest attraction of La Palma and one that it would be criminal not to visit is the National Park of Taburiente. A cheap way to spend your holiday, wandering around the endless forests or mountain summit paths! You'll get to see some of the best scenery in the world! Gaze in awe at the imposing volcanoes, listen to the song birds in the rain forests and fall completely in love with the black volcanic landscapes marked with lava roads and lonely pines that run close to heather covered hills. Any way you look at it, you'll never forget visiting La Palma!
La Palma is an island of white washed cottages and greenery everywhere. For places to visit, try the Roquede De Los Muchachos which rises over 2000m and is the site of the astronomical observatory. From that point you can get a great view of the whole island and even some of the neighboring ones! Zarza Archaeological Park is worth a visit to see the cave carvings drawn by the ancient natives of La Palma. Cueva Bonita, interesting architecture - there's lots to keep you occupied in La Palma. The island activities generally revolve around the amazing scenery which is great for tourists - sight seeing is a cheap way of having fun!
Beaches of La Palma
La Palma has some fantastic black sand beaches. The water off the shore of La Palma is some of the clearest around the Canaries and snorkeling can last for hours as you lose yourself in the clear underwater world and follow the friendly colourful fish. The beaches are generally small and very often deserted so you can enjoy a cheap relaxing day at the beach without the annoyance of crowds of people!
Hotels and Bars of La Palma
La Palma hasn't got as many bars, restaurants or hotels as the more popular Canary Islands. However, the few that are about all have fantastic food, friendly atmospheres and charm by the bucketful! La Palma generally doesn't have the high-rise hotels that the other islands have so this is definitely a plus! Hotels here are more elegant and friendly and there are a lot of cheap deals available and some cheap budget hotels. Many people who come to La Palma prefer to stay in private cottages which may work out cheaper but the advantage of a hotel is not having to lift a finger on your peaceful holiday!
