La Palma Attractions 
An international body has designated La Palma as one of the three most beautiful islands in the world, and it is easy to see why. The magnificent scenery and fascinating vegetation make an immediate appeal to all who explore the island, either on foot or by car. And because it lacks any large beaches it has remained largely unspoiled by mass tourism.
Topography
This heart-shaped island has a maximum length from north to south of 47km/29mi and a maximum breadth from east to west of 30km/19mi. Hills encircle the island, falling steeply down to the coast, with only a few coves with beaches of black sand to break the line of rugged cliffs. In the center of La Palma is the Caldera de Taburiente, with the island's highest peak, the Roque de los Muchachos (2,426m/7,960ft).

Volcán de Teneguia
The most recent volcanic eruption on La Palma occurred at the southern tip of the island in 1971, after a series of preliminary seismic movements, and the masses of ash and lava ejected formed the Volcán de Teneguia (439m/1,440ft). It is no longer active, but there are still emissions of vapor from fissures in the valley bottom.
