La Palma, Volcanic island in Santa Cruz de Tenerife Province, Spain.
The Caldera de Taburiente National Park forms a deep circular depression with an 8-kilometer diameter in the northern section of La Palma.
The 2021 Cumbre Vieja volcanic eruption lasted 85 days, covering 12 square kilometers with lava and destroying more than 1,600 buildings.
Each fifth year, the Fiestas Lustrales de la Bajada celebrates the Virgin of the Snow with traditional dances and processions through Santa Cruz.
The island maintains 1,200 kilometers of roads connecting coastal areas to mountain peaks, with regular bus services operating between main settlements.
The Roque de los Muchachos Observatory hosts international telescopes at 2,396 meters elevation, benefiting from regulations controlling light pollution.
