Lighthouse Fuencaliente

This is an interesting place to visit, mainly for the salt pans that are next to the lighthouses. There is a cafe and restaurant that serve drinks and snacks. The salt pans have a self guided tour that you can walk around for free.

A really interesting place to visit in La Palma we initially thought there was just a lighthouse but there is 2 plus the salt pans where the highest grade salt is naturally produced along with restaurant jardin del sal

Loved the spot. Two gorgeous lighthouses next to each other, easy to park, tiny fishing "village" just below, with a small beach. Easy walk to the salt flats.

This place is truly captivating. I explored not only the salines but also the cliffs/coastline. The memorial platform and the museum round off one of the island‘s must visit locations.

Nice to see the old and new lighthouses side by side overlooking the atlantic ocean with the mountains behind. At the old lighthouse is a short film about the conservation area of the coast and its importance to the sea creatures and working with the fishing villages. You have to stand to view film as only a couple of lava ledges and no seats. 2 euro entry 1 for seniors. The room is all subdued and very relaxing with lava wall and stone sea creatures. The floor is unusual in that it is lit up, under coloured glass laid over debris/rubbish at the bottom of the ocean that causes damage to sea life. You can also stand under the stairs of the old lighthouse for an upward view. Worth a visit if conservation interests you as very interesting about the species that are doing well. They have toilets. Plenty of parking around the base of lighthouses. Restaurant/cafe, salt pans and beach nearby. The road down is long and windy and passes the banana plantations. Lovely rugged coastal views.

Nice view and inside the old building there is a small exhibition about the island on a video. Nice for a small trip around the south side of the island. Close by there is also a salt farm you can visit.

Old and new lighthouses at the south of the island surrounded by a volcanic landscape. A 6k walk or €1.50 on the bus from the Princess hotel. Small beach with black sand. Salt pans nearby with a cafe/restaurant offering food and drinks at sensible prices. Worth a visit for an hour or two.

We visited the lighthouse while staying at the nearby Princess hotel; the bus operates regularly, taking 15 minutes to get one way. I recommend visiting the lighthouse as there's a visitor centre with salt flats, marine conservation space and a cute local beach. If you want to see more, it's worth hiring a car to explore the island!
