Cheap El Paso and Fuencaliente Holidays in La Palma

By Mark Ian Nettlemill

El Paso in La Palma

Little-known and little-travelled, El Paso is the hidden jewel of La Palma. El Paso lies in the centre of La Palma and is a perfect getaway for nature lovers who like fantastic scenery and peace and quiet!

Things to Do in El Paso

The lush forest La Cumbrecita surrounds the awesome volcano, Tacande. One of the prettiest places in La Palma, the forest seems to roll on forever and a cover of misty clouds overhangs the volcano, providing some amazing opportunities for holiday snaps! Also worth a visit in El Paso is the Parque Paraiso De Las Aves where tropical birds fly free!

La Palma contains one of the most scenic national parks you'll ever see! The Taburiente National Park is close by to El Paso so spending days wandering around it is easy! If you like the thought of musical waterfalls, cloud-covered peaks and humid-forests, then this is the place for you!

El Paso also hosts the Nuestra Senora Del Pino festival every couple of years in August so it's worth booking around this time - the locals really know how to throw a good festival party!

Although El Paso has a lack of beaches, there are some close by and we're sure that the amazingly beautiful surroundings will make you forget all about beaches!

Fuencaliente in La Palma

The scenic Fuencaliente lies on the south coast of lush La Palma. This one time hot-spring resort now offers a place to get away from the madding crowd and enjoy some of the best scenery on the island!

Things to Do in Fuencaliente

Like the rest of La Palma, Fuencaliente is swathed in evergreen forests full of song-birds and volcanic landscapes. Nature walks are the activity of choice for most people as there is so much to see and explore! Vineyards can be found all through Fuencaliente as the resort is the main wine production place in La Palma! It's absolute bliss to enjoy the local wine over a traditional tapas while you watch the clouds swirl around the mountainous peaks!

Fuencaliente has the clearest waters of La Palma so scuba diving is defiantly on the cards! All around you'll find small coves and small beaches that remain for the most part deserted - what could be better than relaxing on the warm black sand listening to the waves of the ocean?

The Princess Hotel and Spa is perhaps the best hotel in Fuencaliente. The Princess Hotel is a five star luxury hotel that has everything you could possibly want. If you love pools, the Princess Hotel has eleven! Like good restaurants? The Princess Hotel has one for every day of the week, serving up some fantastic food! With its own spa and astounding views, the Princess Hotel is one of the best hotels in all of La Palma!

La Palma is an unspoilt island and we're sure you'll fall in love with Fuencaliente which offers the best of La Palma! - 16003
