Plaza de San Andrés

San Andrés, the most charming village

The most charming village in the north of La Palma

To visit the village of San Andrés, in the northeast of La Palma, you have to cross the largest single-arch bridge in Spain. Once you cross it, you will arrive at one of the most charming villages on the island, which was the capital of the region for centuries, as evidenced by its centuries-old mansions belonging to wealthy merchants. Its small church, San Andrés Apóstol, has been declared a Site of Cultural Interest and contains important examples of the island’s rich religious heritage.

Cobbled streets and walks to the coast

With the sea always in view, the cobbled streets of San Andrés remain as they were centuries ago, and its houses with large windows are a sight to behold. The center of the village revolves around the church and the beautiful square of the same name, a combination that is almost unique on the island. If you feel like walking to the coast, you can take the promenade that leads to Charco Azul to enjoy a well-deserved swim.
