Tazacorte

Few communities in the Canary Islands have a history as closely tied to banana cultivation as Tazacorte. On La Palma’s west coast, the town extends from the mouth of the Barranco de las Angustias towards the Atlantic, with the ravine carrying water from the Caldera de Taburiente area to the sea. Bananas remain central to the local identity and working landscape, their terraces and packing tradition reflecting an export crop that transformed this part of the island. The old settlement sits above Puerto de Tazacorte, whose harbour and dark volcanic shore add a maritime counterpoint to the cultivated slopes.
