La Palma's natural identity brings together landscape, biodiversity and ways of inhabiting a fragile island territory.
A steep, green island crossed by ravines and volcanoes that continue to write its story.
Among its main reference points are Benahoarite heritage, Atlantic port, Living volcanic island, which connect landscape, memory and everyday life. Island nature is best understood as a relationship between ecosystems and human uses, not as scenery separated from history.
