La Palma is an island of the Canary Islands, which are an integral part of Spain. The nickname of the island is "La Isla Bonita" (the beautiful island).
There are a few nice towns, but the main attraction is the countryside. Spectacular volcanic landscapes reaching up above the clouds with dense vegetation in the valleys make for some spectacular hiking.
The capital of the island, Santa Cruz, has lots of well preserved old buildings and cobblestone streets. Along Avenida Maritima you can see old Canarian balconies made from the Canary pine.
In the middle of the island there is Caldera de Taburiente, a huge erosion crater which is one of the biggest in the world.
