The Island of La Palma is the most northwesterly of the Canary-Islands. It's well known for its outstanding forests and its impressive beauty spots. Its area is of 700 km^², with the highest peak at 2.426 m, and has a population of 80.000 inhabitants.

La Palma has, on one hand, high green mountains, plenty of water and great floral wealth, and on the other hand, several volcanic cones, lava outflows and dykes, which are a reminder of the volcanic origins of the island.

La Palma culture is filled with architecture, cuisine, craftsmanship and folk traditions, some of which come to us from the first people of the Canary Islands (Los Guanches).

The tranquility of the island, together with points of interest like the National Park of La Caldera de Taburiente, the Astronomical Observatory of El Roque de Los Muchachos, El Bosque de Los Tiles (Laurel forest) declared a Biosphere Reserve, the archeological remains (La Zarza and Belmaco caves) give you the opportunity to go on excursions and walk across the thousands of pathes available.
