Marvel at the stunning, volcanic landscape of southern La Palma, admire breathtaking views from the site of a 17th-century eruption, sample sweet local vintages at the island’s largest wine producer. Have a first stop at La Glorieta square: This extremely beautiful, nice little plaza is ornamented with colourful and extravagant mosaic works, depicting motifs of the Palmerian flora and fauna. With much attention for detail, Luis Morera, one of the most renowned artists of La Palma, and student of Ceasar Manrique, has built built this artistic treasure between 1993 and 1996. Continue your tour travelling through lush vineyards and pine forests to the San Antonio volcano, which last erupted in the late 1600s. From the crater’s rim, behold the pretty town of Fuencaliente, which means “hot spring” even though the namesake inspiration was long ago destroyed by volcanic activity, and take in a spectacular view of the Teneguía volcano, which erupted more recently in 1971. At the Bodegas Teneguía, learn about the decadent malvasia grapes, which are allowed to become over-ripe for more sweetness and thrive in soil enriched by volcanic ash and lava. Savor an ambrosial taste of the fruit-saturated, aromatic wine produced in this somewhat unique terroir. You’ll long revel in the joys of this journey through an island inextricably tied to its volcanic past.
