Barranco de Las Angustias, Protected landscape in La Palma, Spain

Barranco de las Angustias extends across four municipalities of La Palma island, featuring steep rocky walls and dense vegetation along its water course.

The area received natural park status in 1987 through Law 12/1987 and was later reclassified as protected landscape by Law 12/1994 of Canary Islands.

The landscape integrates traditional agricultural activities and water infrastructure with natural elements, including the Sanctuary of Nuestra Señora de las Angustias.

The protected area covers 1,695.5 hectares and allows free access for recreational activities such as hiking, photography, and scientific research.

The ravine contains geological formations revealing ancient pillow lavas and plutonic rocks, alongside a dense network of volcanic dikes.
