Piscinas de La Fajana
A set of three seawater natural pools in Barlovento, in northeastern La Palma, sheltered from the waves and ideal for family bathing.
Piscinas de La Fajana is a cluster of three seawater pools on the northern coast of Barlovento. Walkways and rock walls shield them from the open Atlantic, so swimming stays safe even when the swell picks up.
There is a large pool with a rocky bottom, a mid-sized one and a shallow pool made for young children. The site has parking, steps into the water and nearby restaurants, making it a popular stop along the island's northern route.
