Santa Cruz de La Palma offers a delightful blend of colonial charm, natural beauty, and a vibrant island spirit.
Heritage Allure
Stroll along cobblestone streets lined with vibrant, balconied colonial houses, a testament to the town's rich past as a trading port. Explore churches brimming with artistic treasures and museums showcasing the island's unique heritage.
Island Atmosphere
Experience the bustling energy of Avenida Maritima, the seaside promenade offering ocean views, lively cafes, and a taste of local life. Relax on black volcanic sand beaches, surrounded by dramatic cliffs.
Festival Spirit
If your timing's right, witness the vibrant celebrations of Los Indianos during Carnival; a playful reenactment of the island's links with Cuba, where streets fill with white-clad revelers and the air buzzes with energy.
Stargazing Haven
Thanks to La Palma's clear skies and protected status as a Starlight Reserve, Santa Cruz is a prime destination for stargazing. Look up and marvel at the constellations in their full brilliance.
Calanques National Park is one of the most stunning natural attractions in Cassis. Stretching along the Mediterranean coast between Marseille and Cassis, the park is famous for its rugged limestone cliffs, hidden coves, and crystal-clear turquoise waters. Visitors can explore the park on foot, by boat, or even kayak, and discover breathtaking landscapes, diverse flora and fauna, and pristine beaches.
The heart of Santa Cruz pulsates in this grand square. Admire its central fountain, relax under shady trees, and people-watch with a coffee at one of the many cafes.
