Haven't tried fish there - but San Andrés, that seaside walk, and also the pools of Charco Azul are definetely worth a visit (some 2016 pictures below). I am sometimes a bit jealous of such a nice work environment like La Palma or the Canary Islands in general.

San Andrés in August 2016. View from the Calle de Abajo along the coast with some houses, and a palm tree in the foreground. The ocean is to the right. In the center is the white chimney of the lime kiln El Guindaste next to the seaside walk on the left.

View from the seaside walk "Paseo Maritimo Charco Azul" in direction of San Andrés in August 2016 with some houses and palm trees. On the left side is the sea, a rocky beach, and further to the right is the white chimney of the lime kiln El Guindaste. The sky is cloudy.

The joy of working regularly in La Palma is discovering new places. If you haven’t been for a potter around historic San Andrés and eaten fish next to the Church, get in on your bucket list! The coastal path is a short seaside walk to Charco Azul for a post prandial dip. 🌊 #CanaryIslands #LaPalma
