2 Best Sights in Fuencaliente, La Palma

La Palma native Victoria Torres Pecis has been quietly making some of the finest Canarian wine on the market since taking the reins at her late father's hilltop winery in 2010. A fifth-generation winemaker, she understands the island's soils and microclimates, and she adheres to a minimal-intervention philosophy in both vineyard and cellar. “A volcano constructs and at the same time destroys; my vines grow in volcanic ash, and this is part of who we are," she said, reflecting on the 2021 eruption. Snap up as many bottles as you can—Torres's wines (ranging from floral Malvasía to earthy Negramoll) sell out quickly and are hard to come by anywhere else. Visits are private and by email appointment only. 

Beside two picturesque lighthouses (one built in 1903 and the other in 1985) are salt flats set amid a starkly black lava landscape. Placards along a footpath explain how salt is extracted from ocean water according to an ancient method. There's a souvenir shop selling various types and textures of salt as well as local wines, T-shirts, postcards, and more, and a good oceanfront restaurant specializing in salt-baked fish that's filleted tableside.
