The Finca and La Palma
|
Finca Franceses
In the unspoilt north of the island, there is almost no tourism. Here you will find Canarian people going about their normal daily business of working the land or milking the goats.
In the heart of this rural community, less than a 15 minute drive from the sea, lies Finca Franceses. This is a smallholding (finca) of 2.5 acres on which lie the main farmhouse and an adjoining cottage, known as La Casita (the little house).

About La Palma
La Palma is walking country - historically because of necessity and latterly because walkers appreciate its stunning and vastly contrasting landscapes.
From the highest point of 2426m at Roque de Muchachos, swooping down to azure blue seas you will encounter pine forests, lava fields, banana plantations, almond groves and much, much more.
Discover hidden settlements of the north like Franceses, linked by ancient donkey tracks.
