Hidden among the centuries-old pines in northern La Palma, El Fayal emerges as a natural retreat for those seeking to unwind surrounded by authentic island wilderness. This Canary pine forest coexists with an understory of heather and faya trees—which give the place its name—creating a fresh, aromatic atmosphere perfect for enjoying year-round.

The recreation area offers everything needed for a full day outdoors with family or friends: tables beneath the trees, barbecue pits, sinks, restrooms, and a children's playground where little ones can play while adults prepare meals. Its 24-hour open access allows visitors to organize anything from morning picnics to hiking sessions that stretch into sunset.

What visitors appreciate most is its peaceful, well-maintained environment, with signposted trails inviting exploration without getting lost. The air here is calm, and the commitment of visitors to keeping the area clean makes it a welcoming, respected space. Pets are also welcome, provided all rules are followed, making this corner of Puntagorda even more enjoyable for the whole family.
