About La Palma
La Palma is a steep volcanic island in the Canaries, with pine forests, a vast crater park, whitewashed towns and some of the world's clearest night skies.
La Palma rises steeply from the Atlantic at the north-western edge of the Canary Islands, with a ridge of volcanoes down its length. In the north, the Caldera de Taburiente, a huge crater eroded into a national park, is ringed by ridges and pine forests, and the Roque de los Muchachos, at about 2,400 metres, is the highest point and the site of an observatory. Santa Cruz de La Palma, the capital, has colonial balconies and a replica of Columbus's ship.
