Just 50 Km long and 25 Km wide at its widest point, it is dominated by the Caldera de Taburiente - the largest know erosion crater; almost 17 miles around the rim and more than 1,000 metres deep. It is an area for property investors who are more interested in scenery and nature than lazy days in the sun. Unlike other areas of the Canary Islands, La Palma’s weather can be very variable with hard but brief rainstorms. This higher than normal rainfall keeps the island’s vegetation lush and verdant and there is even a small area of tropical rainforest in the Northeast. The coastal landscape is largely characterised by steep cliffs of volcanic rock, small bays with black sand and an abundance of wild cacti and banana plantations. The main roads for circumnavigating and crossing the island are generally well maintained asphalt roads, although straight, flat stretches are few and far between. La Palma has its own airport and is also served by an overnight ferry to Tenerife.
