Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm Joe. I had the pleasure of spending 10 epic days on this beautiful island.

La Palma is the most northwesterly of the chain of islands and is roughly 84 miles northwest of Tenneref.

La Palma is a UNESCO world biosphere and boast some of the clearest skies in the entire world, meaning it's one of the best places worldwide for stargazing.

It's an island made for exploration, one that captivates you and leaves you wanting to see more.

Hire a car for the best way to get around.
Inquire at tourist information centers about local road closures.
