It is known for its palm wine and the grape harvest is celebrated here in a traditional fashion. The vines grow on sunny volcanic slopes and are criss-crossed by winding country roads which run down the side of the region's three volcanoes towards the coast. If you enjoy hiking, Fuencaliente is the ideal starting point for exploring the island's volcanic landscape on foot. When the sky is clear, it is even possible to see Tenerife, La Gomera and El Hierro from the San Antonio volcano. Distance from the airport: 25 km. PUERTO NAOS Puerto Naos, in the south-west of La Palma, stretches along the island's longest beach. As a result of volcanic eruptions in the past, the beach is black with ash, and the contrast against the deep blue of the Atlantic is striking! It's the perfect place to admire some magnificent sunsets. Distance from the airport: 33 km.
