Brief
- La Palma is known for dramatic volcanic landscapes, laurel forests and clear stargazing conditions. Mountain roads are often narrow and winding, so allow extra time when driving between coastal towns and highland trails.
- Try local specialties including papas arrugadas with mojo, almogrote, queso palmero, gofio dishes and wines from the island’s vineyards.
- Hiking conditions can change quickly with altitude. Carry water, sun protection and suitable footwear, and check trail access before visiting volcanic areas or the Caldera de Taburiente.
Safety and health
- Leishmaniasis is transmitted by sand-fly bites. Use insect repellent, wear long sleeves and trousers in the evening, and consider accommodation with screens or air conditioning. (

- Spanish tap water is generally drinkable, although water in some areas may have a strong mineral taste. Pharmacies are identified by a green cross, and larger towns commonly have a 24-hour pharmacy or information about the nearest one. Protect yourself from prolonged direct sun exposure, particularly during summer hikes. (
