Tazacorte has the only museum in Europe devoted to the banana, a fruit that has earned the Protected Geographical Indication classification. But this village on the north-western coast of La Palma is more than an immense sea of banana plantations. Its foundational heart, the Charco neighbourhood, contains heritage of great historical and artistic value, as is demonstrated by its 16th and 17th-century manor houses. A trip to this beautiful village will leave a pleasant aftertaste in the mouth of even the most demanding cruise passenger. On foot, the distance from the port can be covered in approximately 25 minutes.
