Beach in Tazacorte, La Palma island in Canary islands
Tazacorte is a municipality on the island of La Palma located in the center of the west coast of the island.
The island of La Palma is an island of the Atlantic Ocean belonging to the archipelago of the Canary Islands (Spain). Since 2002, the entire island is a Biosphere Reserve by Unesco.
La Palma, like the rest of the Canary Islands, is an island of volcanic origin. With an estimated geological age in 2 million years, it is one of the youngest of the archipelago. It came from an underwater volcano located 4, 000 meters below sea level. The last eruption took place in 1971 in the southern tip of the island, in the municipality of Fuencaliente.
Due to its formation and location, La Palma presents a great variety of landscapes, due to the diversity of ecosystems that it presents, from the coastal arid to the very humid forest formation of laurisilva, in addition to forests of pine forests and a high mountain ecosystem. All this diversity has given him the nicknames of La Isla Bonita (The Beautiful island) and La Isla Verde (The green island)
