Discover the Heart of Garafía

Nestled in the breathtaking landscape of the northwest of La Palma, Garafía tells a tale woven with nature's wonders and the echoes of history. Home to the iconic Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de La Luz, a 16th-century church in its administrative capital, Santo Domingo, Garafía is a masterpiece waiting to be explored.

Once brimming with nearly 5,000 inhabitants in the 1960s, this town has faced the bittersweet journey of emigration, leaving a close-knit population of just 1,654 precious souls. Yet, the essence of its legacy shines through the history of Garafía and its rich agricultural traditions. Here, the golden-barked goat cheese, caressed by the smoke of local artisans, is a testament to the rich flavours cultivated in these lands.
