Puerto de Talavera

A historic port in Barlovento

The Port of Talavera is a historical legacy of the island of La Palma, since many families left from there in the 1940s in search of a better future and also served as a commercial port in the twentieth century. Those scenes have been changed today by the smiles of the little ones, who use it as a playground. In this beautiful space you can enjoy a pleasant swim in a turquoise blue sea and admire the fishermen's houses built on the rocks. Especially beautiful is the arrival to the port through the gorge, always with caution in case the sea is rough and there are waves. In addition, many locals have made this place their vacation spot, as there are caves and huts around it.

The gorge that leads to the port is particularly beautiful, but you need to be careful as the sea can be wild and choppy. Many locals like to spend their holidays here, so there are fitted out caves and huts in the area.
