Santa Cruz de La Palma is one of the nearby places from which the market can be reached.
La Palma's mild subtropical climate keeps warm, sunny weather through most of the year, and the summer months of June to September are the hottest and busiest. Canarian cooking leans on fresh seafood, goat cheese and papas arrugadas served with mojo sauce, ingredients that often appear at market stalls. Spanish is the main language spoken across the Canaries, so a few words go a long way. Aeroplanes carry travellers between the Canaries and mainland Spain, and boats and brief flights provide the links joining one island to the next.
