"Rock village" or "village under the cliff" which is definitely worth to visit. The place like this is unique. To get here by car up to lowest parking lot requires bravery & driving skills;) Road is sometimes rought but very very steep! Offroad car is not neccessary but good breaks and skills for sure;))) Such an amazing experience to spend some time in this unique place. Easy walk from the car park but you must remember to drive only if you have skills and good car, better if not fully loaded as the road is very very steep and there is not many passing areas. No dogs allowed, no public toilets and good swimming experience but only if you have a good level and the ocean is calm. It’s not easy way to go down. Especially if you have a rental car 🤣 its reaaaally steep so watch not to burn your breaks 🔥❕ But it is soooo worth it ! 🤩🤩 one of the most amazing places I’ve seen Also bring your swim suit cuz there is this naturall pool you can swim in if ocean is too rough 👍🏾 Amazing place. The road down to the car park is a bit scary though..I definitely wouldn't do it in the wet. Worth the trip Not an easy drive to get to but is definitely worth a visit. The place is incredible and unique. The sea and waves were amazing to watch and an incredible backdrop for photos. Poris de Candelaria is one of La Palma’s best-kept secrets. Hidden on the island’s rugged northwest coast near Tijarafe, this stunning cove was once a pirate hideout—and today feels like a mythical retreat where nature and history embrace. Carved into a dramatic cliffside and protected by a massive cave-like overhang, a handful of whitewashed fishermen’s houses seem to cling to the rocks above the Atlantic. The turquoise sea crashes below, and the entire scene feels like a living postcard. The spot is steeped in history—used by locals for centuries as a refuge from storms and pirates, this “poris” (natural harbor) became a summer retreat for Tijarafe families. Some houses are still used seasonally today. How to get there: • From Tijarafe, follow the narrow, steep, and winding road down toward the coast. It’s a mix of paved and dirt sections (drive with care—some turns are tight and exposed). • The final stretch must be done on foot (about 10–15 minutes walking), but the views are spectacular all the way. • Parking is limited near the trailhead, so arrive early or off-peak. • Wear good shoes and bring water—there are no services in the cove. Best time to visit: Early morning or late afternoon for the best light (and fewer people). The sea can be rough—so swimming is only advisable when conditions are calm. A beautiful place, great for a nice swim and a bit of sunbathing. Quite a few people when we were there but not crowded, even though there was a fiesta. Since we didn’t have a car, we hitchhiked for some part of the way. From the parking spot it’s a relatively short way down to the sea. One of the most unique landscapes I have ever seen, truly worth it. Don’t be frightened by the alarming reviews about the road. The route does have some sections that are a bit tricky due to slope and road surface, but by driving cautiously and with a minimum of skill in handling the clutch (in case of manual transmission), it can be traveled without major issues. It is highly recommended to use a car that isn’t too low to the ground and that has at some engine traction.
