The island of La Palma is one of the places to discover in every way. Its magnificent landscapes, many of them almost virgin, come like a glove to know it as Isla Bonita. And it is that in La Palma we can find dreamlike viewpoints, beautiful black sand beaches and even a town tucked into a cave: Porís de Candelaria.
It is a fishing village, inside a cave, with the beach a few meters away in the municipality of Tijarafe . A place where the wild and the natural go hand in hand, where the magic of the sea makes it a fairytale place that very few know.
How do you get to Porís de Candelaria?
To access this tiny town, but with a special charm on the island of La Palma, we can get there by car through the LP1 road. The road is narrow and curvy, but it will be worth it to see this picturesque place.
Once we arrive in the area, the surroundings of Porís de Candelaria are not to pass by. From the Mirador del Morro de las Salinas we will discover the Atlantic in all its splendor , in addition to contemplating the immense beauty of the nature of the area.
Once in the town, we will walk through its small streets, covered with some tarps so that landslides do not occur and everything is white and blue, like any self-respecting Greek coast town.
📍 # PorísdeCandelaria is a fishing village so well hidden under a 50 meter high cave that it cannot be seen from the air.

The Pretty Cave
Porís de Candelaria was built centuries ago, its houses are over a century old and have survived all kinds of tides and inclement weather. As early as 1588, the town’s name appeared for the first time in some books. Now it has become one of the summer places of the locals in the area, and a tourist place to visit on La Palma.
Its charm not only resides in the town, the coast is a privileged place to dive and discover the marine charm of the Canary Islands. From here we can access the well-known Cueva Bonita, a cave that can only be entered by sea, and Porís de Candelaria is the perfect door.
