La Palma is the steepest island of the World; its highest peak is 2426 m high: Roque de los Muchachos.
Its eastern ascent starts at oceanlevel
I climbed it twice: once its eastern, once its western side. I recorded GoPro video on its descents: it shows stunning scenery, views to the volcano, caldera, onto the clouds above the ocean, etc...
The video shows a part of why La Palma is called: la isla bonita = beautiful island.
Thanks for watching and hope You like it :)

    I enjoyed that, thanks for posting. Some stunning views on what looks like a fantastic road. I'll give the running a miss though! ;-)

    yep, amazing place La Palma. It is funny how people get fixated in a few climbs when there are so many others which are as good, or even better, as they are a lot less busy.
