Faro de Las Hoyas
The Faro de Las Hoyas reveals itself after a walk through banana plantations, a reward for those willing to step off the main road. Located at Punta Lava, on the west coast of La Palma, this modern and slender lighthouse marks one of the island's cardinal points, visible from numerous trails and viewpoints across the western coast.
Its tall, photogenic structure stands out against the volcanic landscape, where black lava formations create whimsical shapes beside the ocean. From here, Tazacorte spreads below, and the northern coastline offers expansive views that include natural arches carved by the sea. Hikers and cyclists value this peaceful spot, perfect for pausing and taking in the open horizon without rush.
Accessible around the clock, the Faro de Las Hoyas has become a beloved stop for those exploring the island on foot or by bike. At sunset, when golden light bathes the coastal platform, the only sound is the rhythmic whisper of waves. A simple yet authentic corner where the western side of La Palma shows its true, unfiltered character.
