Santa Cruz de La Palma, Canary Island

Known as the Isla Bonita, La Palma is the northwesterly most of the seven Canary Islands. Its capital Santa Cruz de La Palma is home to some of the most unspoiled seascapes in the archipelago. Formed by oceanic volcanoes off the northwestern coast of Africa, these Spanish islands are playgrounds for sun worshippers with their stunning black and white sand beaches and vertiginous volcanic peaks rising from the sea.
