Keys facts about Fuencaliente
Mother Nature’s delights
One of Fuencaliente’s must-sees is the salt flats. Here, earth, air and water join forces to form this spectacular sight. Wander the causeways and watch seabirds soar overhead, before savouring the quiet rhythm of life at the island’s southern tip.
Beneath the waves
Below the surface, near the Fuencaliente Lighthouse, lies Las Cruces de Malpique, an unforgettable dive site. Crosses placed on the seabed honour history and are now framed by shoals of darting fish and volcanic rock gardens. Keep your eyes peeled for lobster, turtles, bottlenose dolphins and loggerhead turtles too.
Day trips to the capital
Santa Cruz de la Palma, the island’s capital, makes the perfect day trip! You’ll find colourful houses, leafy plazas and cafés ideal for lingering. Museums and lively markets reveal island life past and present, while the seafront promenade tempts you back towards the Atlantic horizon.
