Living in La Palma
The areas as I see them, Luca, after years on the islands.
La Palma is “la isla bonita”, the pretty island: the greenest of the Canaries, with the Caldera de Taburiente, forests of Canary pine and some of the clearest skies in the world — clear enough that the Roque de los Muchachos hosts astronomical observatories. Tourism here is about hiking, not mass tourism.
Buyers here are after nature, quiet and village life: Los Llanos de Aridane and the western valley are the sunniest and most populated part of the island, while Santa Cruz de La Palma is the historic capital on the eastern coast. Fincas with land are the most sought-after type of property.
Numbers and municipalities come from public sources; the rest is my own experience. If an area catches your eye, message me and I'll tell you about it in person.

Frequently asked questions
Can I buy a home here without being a resident in Spain?
Yes. You can buy without being resident in Spain: you need a NIE (foreigner identification number), a Spanish bank account and a notary for the deed. In the buying guide you'll find the steps and the taxes, with official sources.
What happens if there's no listing on this island right now?
Our archive grows every week, partly thanks to our partner agencies on the islands. And if the right home isn't here today, we look for it for you, including homes that aren't in public listings, free for buyers: tell us what you're looking for with ‘Chat with Inmobilio’ in the ‘Property finder’ box at the end of the listings.
Can you view the property on my behalf?
Yes. If you are not on the island, someone from the agency or our local partner does the viewing, sends you extra photos and video, and gets back to you in English; then it's up to you to decide whether to come and see it in person.
