Villas in Tijarafe
Tijarafe suits walkers and couples after a sunny, dry hillside base on La Palma's western side, among farms and steep ravines. Most residents live between 400 and 800 metres up, near the LP-1 road. The coast is cliffed and hard to reach, with few beaches, so swimming mostly means the pool.

About Tijarafe
Tijarafe is a spread-out farming municipality rather than a compact village. The steep land is cut by many ravines that end in a coastal cliff about 200 metres high, and most people live between 400 and 800 metres, with the LP-1 running through from south to north. The homes are scattered around Tijarafe rather than in one spot. Banana plantations are the main crop, and the church to Nuestra Señora de Candelaria was built in 1530. The climate is sunny and arid, and evenings are quiet and local.
Is Tijarafe right for you?
- Best for
- Walkers wanting dry sunshine and a rural base
- Not for you if
- You want to walk to a beach, because the coast here is cliffed and hard to reach, with few beaches or landing points.

Does Tijarafe have a beach?
Not an easy one. The coastline is cliffed and hard to reach, with few beaches or landing points, and the cliffs stand about 200 metres high. Most homes here have a private pool, so check each listing if swimming matters.
What is Cueva Bonita near Tijarafe?
It is a sea cave carved by waves into the coastal cliff near Porís de Candelaria, more than 100 metres deep with two entrances. For several months a year the sunset lights the inside, and its pebble beach can only be landed on at low tide.
How far is Tijarafe from La Palma airport?
Around 45 minutes by car. Bus connections are slow, taking over two hours with changes in Los Llanos, so plan on hiring a car for the whole stay.
Is Tijarafe quiet?
Very. Agriculture, mainly bananas, employs most working people here. Expect farm tracks and village life, not nightlife.
