About Puntagorda
Puntagorda is the westernmost municipality on La Palma, and its people live mostly in scattered rural houses rather than a town; the old village core has only a few hundred residents. It sits at roughly 700 metres. Orange and avocado orchards fill the middle slopes, vines grow above the village, and Canary pine forest climbs towards the Caldera de Taburiente. The homes are close together near the village and sleep between two and six. Down at sea level the coast is a protected area of cliffs, with a small seawater pool reached by 460 steps. Farming still matters more than tourism here, so evenings are very quiet.
Is Puntagorda right for you?
- Best for
- Walkers and couples after rural quiet among almond groves
- Not for you if
- You want a beach day on foot or a short transfer, since the coast here is protected cliff and the drive from the airport takes over an hour.

Puntagorda villa holidays: questions answered
When is the almond blossom in Puntagorda?
At the end of January or the start of February, when the village holds its annual festival for the flowering almonds. Puntagorda is well known for its almond trees, which blossom in January and February.
Is there a market in Puntagorda?
Yes, a farmers' market runs every weekend and sells fresh local produce direct from the growers. Almonds, vines and wheat have long been the main dry-farmed crops here, and agriculture still outweighs tourism in the local economy.
Can you swim in the sea at Puntagorda?
Only with effort. The coastline is a protected area of cliffs, and the small seawater pool below the village is reached by 460 steps. Most homes here have a private pool instead; check each listing.
Puntagorda or Tijarafe for a villa holiday?
Both are quiet farming municipalities, linked by the LP-1 road. Puntagorda has the weekend market and the almond festival but is further from the airport; Tijarafe, to the south, lies 7 km north-west of Los Llanos de Aridane and has a shorter airport drive.
