Welcome to paradise
Los Llanos de Aridane
Cool shade provides this pergola from Bougainville to the guest next to the church at Plaza de España …
... where the really important things are regulated…
The imposing three-naves church 'Nuestra Señora Virgen de los Remedios' from the 16th century towers above the city…
... and impresses also in the inside by the enormous ceiling construction from Tea-wood.
Church roof at the Plaza de España
The plaza is followed by quiet alleys in the old town, like here the Calle Real…
... with their colourful shops…
... the wall-paintings…
... street cafés …
....the colourful shops......
... and historical buildings.
It ends with a well that cannot hide our proximity to Africa.
And what would La Palma be without its balconies?
Here you take your time to look at life.

People like to talk to each other a lot and always'tranquilo
Calle Carballo leads to the…
... archaeological museum, …
... which was accommodated in a modern round building.
The 'Museo Arqueològico Benahoarita' shows artefacts…
... from the time of the 'Guanches', the natives of La Palma.
A small shopping arcade leads to Fernández Taño street…
... with the Café Utopía …
... and our office at the Plaza de España, where we welcome you warmly.
Via the Plaza Chica you get back to the…
... big plaza, where even the mannequins sun themselves.
From the balcony of the town hall the mayor can overlook the plaza…
... and direct the fate of the city in an authentic ambience or…
... listen to the street musicians who like to play something for their bronze colleague.
Palm trees shape the cityscape…
...and flowers everywhere.
Towards Barranco de las Angustias leads the small calle Conrado Hernández and a palm tree, which appears as a static miracle.
At the bottom of La Palma's largest gorge we find the church 'Nuestra Señora de las Angustias'.
It got its name from the gorge of fear of death (Barranco de las Angustias)…
... which means the fear of death of the Spanish conquerors…
... which they endured when they were defeated by the Guaches here during their first conquest of La Palma.
