Get ready for a stroll in the heart of another age: among colonial architecture and Flemish sacred art you’ll discover a surprising side of the island of La Palma, suspended between past and present.
Now declared cultural heritage, in the 16th century it hosted merchants and seafarers who from here arrived at the colonies of the Americas, bringing wealth from all over with them. You see it with your own eyes, as you walk along the cobbled streets of its old town.
Among the decorated wooden balconies and highly colorful houses overlooking the sea, the words of your guide will provide you with tidbits on the many details of the city.
You’ll discover that the sweet specialties of the island make it special, too. It’s true – you can’t leave without trying a “barraquito”, the typical liqueur-enhanced coffee, and a slice of local cake.
