Getting to La Palma (flight information)
There is an international airport in La Palma, which connects very well the island of La Palma with Madrid in about 2,5 hours and Barcelona in about 3 hours. The airport is also well connected with airports of many cities in Europe.
Getting to your Hotel (local transport)
From La Palma Airport (SPC)
We recommend you to take a taxi since the airport is about 5 min from Los Cancajos, thus it is the easiest way to get to Los Cancajos, and it will just cost you around 10 €. Alternatively, there are frequent buses from the airport to Los Cancajos (line 500). These buses going to Los Cancajos (in their way to Santa Cruz de La Palma) stop just close to the entrance to the hotel H10 Taburiente Playa .
