At the entrance to Los Canarios, on the LP-2 roundabout next to Bodegas Teneguía, a large wooden barrel with a bunch of grapes and the sign “Fuencaliente, tierra de vino entre volcanes” (Fuencaliente, land of wine among volcanoes) welcomes visitors to the municipality. It is the monument to the winegrower: a tribute to all the winegrowers of Fuencaliente who, through their efforts, have made these wines internationally famous, especially the Malvasía.

Information

The tribute is well founded. Fuencaliente is the municipality with the most vineyards on the island, some 297 hectares, a quarter of all of La Palma, and vines occupy more than half of its cultivated land. The vines grow between 200 and 1,100 m on volcanic gravel, trained low along the ground and protected from the wind by stone walls, and the most important remnants of Malvasía cultivation, a variety that came from Crete, are preserved here.

From the roundabout set out the Los Quemados road and municipal Route 3 to Puntalarga, which passes beside Bodegas Teneguía. The Wine Fountain in the Plaza de San Antonio, which flows with wine during the Grape Harvest Festival, completes the tribute.
