Also called San Miguel de la Palma, this gem of an island is part of the autonomous community of the Canary Islands located in the northwestern part of Spain. It lies off the northwest of Africa in the North Atlantic Ocean. Out of the seven Canary Islands, la Palma is the 5th<\/sup> in size. It is also home to one of the four major national parks of the Canary Islands. This interesting island is a volcanic ocean island and the site of one of the leading astronomical observatories in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Originally formed as a seamount from volcanic activity three to four million years ago, la Palma is a mountainous region with an interesting geography thanks to the volcanic activities on the island. There are also several active but dormant volcanoes. La palmas's economy is mostly centered on agriculture as it grows and exports vegetables and fruits like bananas, tomatoes, and tobacco. In recent times, tourism is also becoming one of its major exports, thanks to its beautiful landscapes, beaches, forests, and clear skies. The entire island is a protected UNESCO biosphere reserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
