La Palma

La Palma is an essential destination for lovers of nature and good gastronomy. The unique flavour of the products of La Palma is directly related to the volcanic origin of the island and the purity of its raw materials. 

Some of the typical dishes of "la isla bonita" are roasted cheese with green mojo, papas arrugadas with red mojo, escaldón de gofio and chicharrones (pork rinds) covered with gofio. 

Typical sweets from La Palma

Almendrados, Bienmesabe and Príncipe Alberto are the traditional Canary Island desserts from La Palma. All of them are characterised by the fact that they all have almonds as a common ingredient. The reason for this is that almond trees are one of the star elements of the island's landscape. These can be found in areas such as Puntagorda, El Paso, Tijarafe and Villa de Garafía. In February, Puntagorda also dresses in white for the Fiesta del Almendro en Flor (Almond Blossom Festival), which has been declared an Asset of Tourist Interest in the Canary Islands. 

The salt from La Palma

In the far north of the island are the salt mines of Fuencaliente, an essential stop if you visit the island of La Palma. Salt is produced here using traditional techniques. Both the beauty of the surroundings and the chance to learn about the process of obtaining the exquisite salt of La Palma make this a magical place.
