Buracas

Buracas is one of the most visited places of La Palma because it houses the best areas of dragon trees in the Canary Islands, and also for the great beauty of its landscapes and the archaeological sites of the area. In the tourist information center of Las Tricias, we start a circular walk of low difficulty, 4.8 km and 3 hours, which leads us through a traditional area, well preserved, with beautiful examples of rural architecture, and culminates in the aboriginal settlement of the Cuevas de Buracas.

It is well worth making a small detour to visit the old gofio factory (cereal mill), which remains intact and houses the Gofio Museum, a tribute to this traditional food that plays such an important role in the island’s gastronomy.
