ES About: Fuencaliente
Fuencaliente is a municipality in the south of the Canary Island of La Palma, known for its volcanic landscape, wine production, and picturesque coasts. The name means "hot spring" and refers to former thermal springs that were destroyed by volcanic eruptions.
The main attractions are the San Antonio and Teneguía volcanoes, the latter of which last erupted in 1971. Hiking trails lead through the impressive lava fields. Fuencaliente is also famous for its Malvasia wine, which grows on volcanic soil. Wineries offer tastings.
The region also features beaches like Playa de Echentive and the Salinas de Fuencaliente, where salt is still traditionally harvested. The nearby Faro de Fuencaliente lighthouse is a landmark of the region.
