Tijarafe on La Palma: Culture, Coast and Nature
El Barranco de Los Gomeros, located within the municipality of Tijarafe on the island of La Palma, is designated as a Bien de Interés Cultural (BIC) in the Zona Arqueológica category. The archaeological settlement delineated within the Bien de Interés Cultural comprises 39 natural dwelling caves. The combination of the precise place name and specific number can help you classify the cultural focus.
History and culture
The original text can still be read today on the façade of a house on Calle del Adiós. The Museo del Traje José Luis Lorenzo Barreto is located on the upper floor of the library and displays traditional clothing from the various municipalities of La Palma. The Semana Santa de Tijarafe has preserved deeply rooted elements for more than 450 years, including the design of the monument on Maundy Thursday. The Danza del Diablo has been designated as a Bien de Interés Cultural since 2007. It takes place every year in a municipality in the northwest of the island as part of the patron saint festivities in honour of Our Lady of Candelaria. For groups with different interests, the museum, festival traditions and archaeological site can be considered separately. You can take the different forms into account individually when preparing your trip, without combining them into a single activity.
Coast
Cueva Bonita is now regarded as one of the outstanding destinations for maritime excursions along the coast of Tijarafe. Proís de Candelaria was a traditional island landing place in the north that supported trade before the roads were expanded. Maritime excursions and a historic island landing place represent different focal points. When planning your trip, you can weigh these topics separately according to your personal preferences.
Nature
The Barranco del Jurado features walls with superimposed layers of pyroclasts and lava of varying textures and colours, as well as stone bridges, cabocos and waterfalls. When choosing a theme for the day, this landscape focus can be clearly distinguished from the cultural and coastal topics.
When choosing a holiday apartment in Tijarafe, you can compare the room category and cancellation conditions in addition to your travel dates. This keeps the accommodation details separate from the different focuses on culture, coast, nature, trails, and wine and local products, allowing you to organise them according to your own priorities.

The Full Moon Trail is a circular route and can be walked in either direction. The circular format and the two possible walking directions can be taken into account when planning your trip. If several types of activity come together, you can classify the circular route as a separate focus alongside cultural, maritime and culinary topics.
In the direct selection of places, you will also find La Punta and El Jesús.
