Liked the combination of natural rocks and artificial barriers to form swimming pools... didn't seem to be any charge to use them. A couple of nice restaurants overlooking the pools.

I have never seen anything like this before, 3 pools filled with water coming straight from the sea, full of fish, water cold as expected but very refreshing. One shallow pool for children. Very clean. Free. Flat areas to sunbathe and also shaded areas. Definetley worth a visit. More

The set is impressive, although they seemed too dirty and tricky. We liked those near SanAndres (Charco Azul) better. More

La Fajana (pronounced Fahana) is rather a popular name on La Palma and if you study the map you will doubtless notice several La Fajanas laid about. In fact, there are two in the north alone – La Fajana de Garafia which is the little port village and beach just below Franceses and La Fajana de Barlovento which lies between... More
