Palma Island is known as La Isla Bonita (beautiful island) or Isla Verde (Green Island) and indeed is the greenest island in the Canaries archipelago. From forests to steep cliffs that hide the black sand beaches, the island has surprises at every turn.
Declared a biosphere reserve by UNESCO, the island has more protected areas, and inside you'll find the Taburiente National Park Caldera. Volcanic lava that has drained into the ocean created a low rocky coast with many hidden coves.
In La Palma there are many monuments and monasteries, churches and museums.
