Nature at its best on La Palma

The greenest and most peaceful of the Canaries, La Palma was nicknamed Isla Bonita (Beautiful Island) because of its natural good looks.

The entire island is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. In the centre, at Parque Nacional de la Caldera de Taburiente, volcanic peaks rise to

7,874ft and lava flows to the sea. This

18 square mile nature reserve is also a tapestry of pine forests, waterfalls, freshwater springs and walking trails.
