La Palma, Canary Islands cruise port guide

Canary Island La Palma is called 'the fair isle because of its fabulous landscape and you will soon see why. Santa Cruz is one of the prettiest harbours among the islands and is easily explored on foot. Make the best of your La Palma cruise and stroll along the Avenida Maritime promenade which will take you to the lovely old quarter around Plaza de Espana, Here you will find a 16th century fountain and town hall, a magnificent Renaissance church and a handicrafts market where you can pick up distinctive pottery and snack on local delicacies. As you will discover on our cruises to La Palma, the island's most spectacular volcanic crater, Caldera de Taburiente, is crammed with rare animal and plant life and has been designated a national park. Its night skies are so clear that a major astrophysical observatory has been built at Roque de los Muchachos. With such a variety of destinations to explore, La Palma cruises offer visitors here a memorable day.

About La Palma, Canary Islands

Santa Cruz de La Palma is the capital city and only major port on the island of La Palma in Spain's Canary Islands, situated on the east coast along an ancient lava flow. Founded in 1493, the city served historic trade routes to the Americas and retains well-preserved colonial fortifications and churches. Many cruise line firms call at the port, which also handles ferry connections to Cádiz, Tenerife, Gran Canaria, and Lanzarote.

The city's most notable landmarks include two historic fortresses — the Castillo de Santa Catalina and the Castillo de la Virgen — erected following pirate raids and still defining features of the seafront. The Iglesia de El Salvador, founded in 1500, is the island's principal Catholic church. Excursions outside the city center lead to Las Nieves and the Real Santuario Insular de las Virgen de las Nieves, the island's patron-saint sanctuary.
