Preparing your trip to La Palma: advices & hints - things to do and to obey
1. The island does not have its own international airport, only a small one, which receives flights from nearby islands. The easiest way to get here is through the island of Tenerife where many connecting flights are available.
2. When choosing a hotel for a beach holiday, one should be especially careful. Even if the hotel is located near the coast, it doesn't necessarily mean there are beaches equipped and available for recreation nearby.
3. The island has a poorly developed public transport system. Active tourists should rent a car, as some remote areas and beaches can only be reached by car.
4. Those who still expect to take a bus should take into account an important nuance. Even though there is a timetable, not all drivers really care about it.

12. The island is characterized by a very calm and safe atmosphere. One can safely walk along the coast or city streets even late at night.
13. There are quite a few large hotels on the island, apartments for rent are more common outside the capital. They are very comfortable, many apartment complexes offer their guests an "all inclusive" service.
14. Almost all hotel rooms have kitchens. Such rooms will appeal to independent tourists, as well as those who go on a trip with small children.
15. Wealthy tourists should pay attention to private villas that are rented out in many cities. It can be profitable to rent them for big families or large groups.
