The capital city of La Palma is Santa Cruz de La Palma.
Santa Cruz de La Palma lies on the eastside of La Palma, near the airport and near Los Cancajos where are some nice Hotels.
In Santa Cruz live about 20′000 people. The oldtown is really quiet, no cars and lots of small shops, so a bit walking around and shopping is quite nice. There are also some objects of interest like churches and museum…. or the marketplace where you can buy fresh food every morning.
If you would like to go for a walk in Santa Cruz, it’s a good idea to start by the postoffice, and there turn to the Calle O’Daly, when you come to the Avenida del Puente, turn left and go up to the covered market……
But don’t forget to be early, in the afternoon lots of shops will be closed
