This dive brings you to hardened lava streams and a huge, unique basalt column. On the south-facing wall, the volcanic formations known as columnar jointing can be seen more clearly.

Las Eras is one of the best known dives in Tenerife. Here you will find a wide variety of species and even statues. Its narrow passageway and rock formations, combined with the light coming through the crevices, make it one of the most beautiful landscapes to photograph.

The Roque del Garachico has huge vertical walls that drop down from its north-eastern side. One of them is home to beautiful orange coral. This is the only known coral of this colour that has grown on a vertical wall as it is usually found on the seabed to prevent their branches from breaking from its weight.

The Llano de Las Ventas Astronomical Lookout Point is located in the Breña Baja municipality. From its height of approximately 1,320 metres, you can savour a magnificent panoramic view of La Palma’s eastern coast. As well as various information panels, this lookout point features a gauge pointing to the Pole Star, a planisphere where you can locate the main circumpolar constellations.

La Palma is known for its volcanic landscapes and magical spots, but one of the best views is the night sky. The whole way around the island you can find multiple stargazing spots, such as La Muralla. In the Aguatavar neighbourhood you can gaze at the stars at night and admire the beautiful sunsets. You can also learn about its place in the mythology of the Awaras, the Prehispanic inhabitants of La Palma, and a sign that helped them find the North Star. The viewpoint is located in Recta de la Muralla, just next to the main road (LP-1) at 83km, next to a restaurant bearing the same name.

This route by car not only allows you to see how varied El Hierro is, but, in the end, the Mar de las Calmas lends meaning to the island's reputation as a haven of peace. Departing from Valverde, the capital and a renowned shopping area, the first stop leads to El Mocanal, a town with a great agricultural tradition, ideal for breakfast. Nearby, Guazaroca surprises you with its thatched houses, while the nearby viewpoint of La Peña, the work of César Manrique, offers stunning views of El Golfo and the rocks of Salmor.

A car route with curves and temperature changes does not seem, a priori, very attractive. But everything changes when this route is followed. From the capital to a valley whose name could not be more accurate, Vallehermoso [Beautiful Valley], this is the essence of La Gomera. Endless palm groves, a dense laurel forest of the Tertiary worthy of the best fairy tale, impressive basins leading to villages of typical architecture comprising stone and red tiles, as well as bathing areas for a necessary dip, make the northeast of the island an excursion to highlight.
