Los Cancajos, La Palma

Los Cancajos Overview

Three fabulous beaches: There are three Blue-Flag beaches to enjoy during holidays to Los Cancajos. Don’t be put off by the black sand, it’s soft and clean and is actually remaining natural evidence of the island’s volcanic past. The water here is largely crystal clear too.

Natural wonders: Although not as close to the Caldera National Park as La Parma’s other major resort, Puerto Naos, it’s still more than worth a visit on holidays to Los Cancajos. On the whole, La Parma holidays are unspoilt by tourism, so you could quite easily enjoy long walks taking in the splendour of the countryside and rocky coastline.

Beaches in Los Cancajos

Three quiet bays: The beach at Los Cancajos comes in three pieces, or bays to be exact. Each has fine volcanic black sand surrounded by rocky coves. The water around the bays is clear and warm, making it an ideal location for a spot of scuba diving. Sea life around Los Cancajos is particularly diverse, so expect to see colourful fish and rare turtles.

Restaurants in Los Cancajos

Bodegon El Campesino: This traditional Canarian restaurant has a wide selection of tapas dishes including Chorizo and the Canary Islands’ favourite Papas Arrugadas (wrinkled black potatoes). It’s a great place to get a true taste of the Canaries while on holidays here.

Chipi-Chipi: A converted old farming house, this restaurant is in a suitably leafy, rustic location. Only ten minutes from Los Cancajos, it’s certainly one of the best restaurants in the area. The menu features simple dishes cooked perfectly with locally sourced ingredients. Grilled Cheese, Canarian Stew and Chicken with Alioli (Garlic Mayonnaise) are just a few of the highlights.
