Get Away From Winter – there’s wall-to wall sunshine now in La Palma

If you’re in the UK or northern Europe you have most likely had enough of gales, floods and dark skies. On the teardrop-shaped volcanic island of La Palma, Canary Islands, the forecast ahead is for almost wall-to-wall sunshine with daily highs of 20-22C and not much less than 16C in the night.

Even better, it offers dramatic and wonderful walking. And you could be there within 5 hours’ flight time from UK and many European airports.

The image (right) was taken while following the Ruta de Los Volcanos.

And how about following the route of the southern volcanoes (left)? Much of the walk is along the volcanic ridge that bisects the island west-east, offering super views. Here’s how it looks on the La Palma Tour & Trail Map.

The image below shows a walker starting out on the Roque Palermo route; La Palma’s famous observatory can be glimpsed in the background.
