GR-131: Volcano Route

Los Canarios is the main settlement and capital of Fuencaliente, and the southernmost village on La Palma. It is the highest district of the municipality, at 700 m, and sits in a hollow at the foot of a group of pine-covered volcanoes, with San Antonio a stone’s throw away. It has 833 inhabitants (INE 2025), almost half of the municipality.

Information

The services are concentrated here: bars and restaurants, a pharmacy, a health centre, supermarkets, the post office, the bus stop and the taxi rank. In Plaza Minerva is the Tourist Information Office, from which the municipal walking routes set out; the church of San Antonio Abad, patron saint of the municipality, presides over the main square, with the sculpture of El Caminante and the Wine Fountain beside it. The Cultural Centre, the Municipal Library, the San Antonio Volcano Visitor Centre, Bodegas Teneguía and the Artesol Craft Centre are a few minutes’ walk away.

The village calendar is set by San Antonio Abad, on 17 January; the Carnival, with its talcum-powder battle in Plaza Minerva; the May Crosses; and in August the Grape Harvest Festival, which was born in Los Quemados in the 19th century and has been held in Los Canarios since 1948. The economy has always been agricultural: cereals and fruit trees before, vineyards today. The GR 131, the Volcano Route, passes through the village on its way to the lighthouse.
