The information center is built right next to the volcano. It is 900m from the information center to the top of the volcano. There are good explanations there about the history of the Canary Islands and volcanoes. Very good paths.

March 27, 2025,🇪🇦 🌴 La Palma, Vulkankunde 🌋 Los Canarios - Faro de Fuencaliente🗼🔄

On La Palma 🌴, one of the younger volcanic islands, the enormous power 💪 of our Earth's deep interior 🌍 is omnipresent. Broken roads, thousands of houses buried under lava bear witness to the last major volcanic 🌋 eruption in 2021... Our first hike therefore led us into the younger "volcanic world." We started at the San Antonio Volcano Center …

Very nice tour. Definitely walk in this direction. Entrance to Volcan de San Antonio: 8 euros per person. No bar open. Restaurant towards the main street: food, service and wine very good. Tip: Stay away from homemade hot water. Bad for the eyes. Another tip: finish at the very beautiful Playa Nuovo, approx. 500 m from the starting point.

Down at the lighthouse, you can visit the salt pans if you wish, or even stop for a bite to eat (the menu looks pretty good, at least). I took a …

4/5 ⭐, steep paths led me through the black, sparsely vegetated earth at the Volcan Teneguia, which erupted in 1971, 650 meters down to the Faro de Fuencaliente and the salt pans, which shimmered colorfully from above. Unfortunately, access to the Volcan Teneguia is now closed, which makes the descent a bit monotonous. I also climbed further east on steep …
