Mundo Aborigen

Open-air recreation of a Canary Island settlement from before the conquest, in the municipality of San Bartolomé de Tirajana, overlooking the Barranco de Fataga. More than a hundred life-size figures spread scenes of daily life across the site: the home, grain, livestock, healing, justice and burial rites. A small archaeological room rounds off the route and helps place what stands outside. Since the site is open ground with little shade, water, a hat and sun protection are worth packing.

Playa de la Veta

Playa de la Veta is a secluded cove of black sand in the municipality of Tijarafe, on the western coast of La Palma. It is reached from the Aguatavar neighbourhood, and on foot only: the surfaced track ends almost at the edge of the cliff, and from there a footpath drops to the shore in fifteen to twenty minutes. The size of the cove is seasonal, since it loses metres in winter and wins them back in summer.
