Holiday La Palma – Highlights and Activities in Puntagorda

Experience & Enjoy – Markets, Almond Blossoms, and Vineyards

In spring, blossoming almond trees transform the region into a colorful natural wonder. The festival “Fiesta del Almendro en Flor” attracts many visitors every February.

Perhaps the most popular highlight of the region is the weekly farmers’ market. On Saturdays from 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm and Sundays from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm, you can buy fresh and local products. Besides fruits and vegetables, there are cheeses, honey, baked goods, wine, and also handicrafts. Right next to the market, you can enjoy a little adventure on a zipline with views over the surrounding landscape. Fun for both young and old.

A great way to start your vacation is with an easy hike through the vineyards of Puntagorda. The starting point is the vineyards above the village at about 1,300 meters elevation. From there, you can take various small paths through the terraced slopes, lined with grapevines and almond trees.

Discover & Marvel – Nature, Sea, and Views

Also worth visiting is the Puerto de Puntagorda, set in a spectacular rocky landscape. You reach this remote spot via a steep, winding road, and it captivates visitors with its natural charm. In calm seas, you can enter the crystal-clear water directly via a permanently installed swimming ladder. There are no sunbathing areas or tourist infrastructure – instead, you can enjoy a unique swimming experience in complete tranquility, surrounded by cliffs and the sea.

On the coast of Puntagorda lies the Mirador de los Matos, an easily accessible viewpoint with fantastic views over Puntagorda’s wild coastline and the Atlantic Ocean. Especially in the late afternoon, it’s worth a visit when the sun slowly sets into the sea. Ideal for a short break during a walk through the region.

An architectural highlight of the region is the floating viewpoint above the Barranco de Izcagua. The viewing platform is designed so that you literally stand over the abyss – with an unobstructed view deep into the gorge and far out to the sea. Moreover, the glass platform gives the feeling of floating and offers an unparalleled panorama.

Restaurants in Puntagorda

In small, family-run establishments, you can experience the diversity of local cuisine, mostly prepared with regional ingredients. Popular meeting places include the restaurant Jardín de los Naranjos and the Ristorante Ancora.
