South of the city of Santa Cruz de La Palma is La Palma Airport, operated and owned by Aena Aeropuertos, one of the world's leading airport operators. It's located along an old lava flow of a nearby volcano which can be found to the south of the city also. It's worth a look, and car hire from La Palma Airport will have you exploring the sights in no time. Hiring a car is useful in this sort of area as the area is hilly, based around farmlands, with little public transport.
One of the best places to visit, not only for a fantastic day out, but always to put your new car through its paces, is Caldera de Taburiente National Park. This beautiful, natural, and stunning oasis is the perfect place to get back to nature, and get away from the hum of the city – you can enjoy a relaxing stroll around the woodland, or you can simply let the kids run and play while you sit and enjoy a quiet picnic. No matter how you want to enjoy your time here, you're guaranteed to find it a breath-taking, and wonderfully peaceful place to spend a morning or afternoon.
Hiring a car from La Palma Airport will allow you to enjoy the drive up to the worthwhile destination of Instituto de Astrofiscia de Canarias. This excellent example of science at its best is a brilliant treat for the whole family, and will definitely make the idea of engaging with science a much more enjoyable idea – to make sure everything is clear and easy to understand, you will have a helpful guide to assist while you're visiting. The planetarium is just over a hour and half drive, but is definitely worth the time spent on the winding, country rounds. So what are you waiting for? Rent a car from La Palma Airport and get exploring this varied and beautiful location.
