Garafia

Tucked along La Palma’s rugged northwestern Atlantic coast, Garafía is a municipality whose character is shaped by steep volcanic slopes and deep ravines. Its scattered hamlets and cultivated terraces occupy a sparsely settled part of the island, where the land rises from the ocean towards the high ridges around Roque de los Muchachos. The Roque de los Muchachos Observatory is among the world’s leading astronomical sites, benefiting from clear skies and the altitude of La Palma’s summit. Garafía also preserves an older island heritage at La Zarza and La Zarcita Archaeological Park, known for rock engravings made by the Benahoarite people.
