La Palma is a visual treat characterised by lush greenness. As confirmation, all you have to do take this car trip from the port of Tazacorte, in the west, to the capital, crossing the northern slopes of the island. Although bends are inevitable, driving up to Roque de los Muchachos and enjoying the views of the Atlantic on the descent to Santa Cruz is priceless. The excursion can also be undertaken in the opposite direction, going towards the west of the island to end up in Tazacorte.
