Puerto Naos Holidays
;img.crop(width:658%2Cheight:370))
Holidays to Puerto Naos deliver natural awe – think dramatic volcanoes and ebony beaches wrapped around a little village.
Fresh seafood
Puerto Naos is on the west coast of the Canary Island of La Palma, closer to north-west Africa than to Spain. It's a chilled-out fishing village with restaurants and bars in its backstreets and along the waterfront. Squid, 'papas arrugadas' – a traditional potato dish – and desserts of crushed almonds and honey are a few classics to sample.
Unforgettable hikes
For wild, rugged terrain and sweeping views, you have to check out the volcanic trail. Starting in Refugio El Pilar in the Parque Natural de Cumbre, you'll pass by craggy peaks, lava streams and ancient craters. It's a full day out, but worth it for the photos and all-around intrepid feeling.
Sneak a peek underwater
The seawater at Puerto Naos beach is famously warm, clean and clear – perfect conditions for snorkelling and scuba diving. The local dive school can help you make your first splash, with helpful instructors to point out the eels, scorpionfish and barracudas that live there.
