What to see and do in Puntallana

Puntallana
Village
A municipality in northeastern La Palma, corresponding to the old pre-Hispanic canton of Tenagua, whose territory was historically known as the 'granary of the island' for its wheat production.
Iglesia de San Juan Bautista
Monument
Raised to parish status in 1515, it is one of the first churches built on the island and was declared a Bien de Interés Cultural (Spain's highest level of heritage protection) in 1994. It preserves an 18th-century Baroque main altarpiece and the oldest equestrian image of Santiago Apóstol in the Canary Islands.
Ermita de Santa Lucía
Monument
Built before 1530, it holds a Flemish image of Santa Lucía from the early 16th century and was historically the destination of a maritime pilgrimage from the area of the capital.
El Cubo de La Galga
Nature
One of the best-preserved laurisilva forests in the Canary Islands, part of the Parque Natural de Las Nieves, with ferns, fayas, laurels, holly and tilos, and home to laurel pigeon and Bolle's pigeon populations.
Playa de Nogales
Nature
The longest black sand beach on La Palma, reached by steps beneath the cliff; it ranks among the most beautiful in the Canary Islands, though it carries a high risk from sea currents.
La leyenda del Salto del Enamorado
Curiosity
An oral tradition about a shepherd in love who, after agreeing to walk three times along the edge of the cliff of the Montaña de La Galga while calling out to his beloved, falls on the third turn. The legend gives its name to a coastal feature and is represented in a sculpture on the site.
Casa Luján
Monument
A 17th-century colonial manor house that housed the municipality's town hall and school until the 1980s, and today holds an ethnographic museum and a crafts centre.
