Las Manchas
On the west coast of La Palma, overlooking the blue Atlantic lies Las Manchas. Las Manchas is a resort that most tourists continuously overlook. The quiet power of the landscape is often passed over for the more rowdy bars and bright lights of say, Tenerife. But Las Manchas is a dream destination for those of you who want a relaxing holiday where sight-seeing and beaches are the order of the day!
The village of Las Manchas has small, white-washed cottages that are a characteristic of La Palma and holiday homes and villas that can be privately rented and swiftly come to seem like home! The most appealing square in all of La Palma resides in Las Manchas, made completely of mosaics it's worth a visit to appreciate the craftsmanship! You'll also be amazed at the lava flows that run through Las Manchas!
The Las Manchas Wine Museum is a tribute to the wine-making tradition of La Palma and is informative as well as interesting. The small secluded beaches lie nearby on the coast and offer black sand, hot sun and cool waters – many pleasant days can be spent lolling around on the beach! For the more adventurous, the Taburiente National Park with its gorgeous landscapes and volcanoes lies not too far away and offers some amazing walks!
