The island of La Palma offers exceptional natural conditions that make it a surprising island. The island landscape is an important indicator of the quality of life of the territory and represents one of its most emblematic attractions for visitors. If we add the native flora and fauna to this, together with the spectacular landscapes, clean skies and one of the best facilities of modern astrophysics in the mountains – the Roque de Los Muchachos Observatory –, La Palma becomes one of the best places for night sky-related tourist activities. 

La Isla Bonita (The Beautiful Island) is well-known for its extensive network of trails, so if we combine landscapes, skies, volcanoes and its people, we can draw the conclusion that it has the necessary resources to consolidate an attractive tourist activity known as ASTRO-TOURISM. 

- “The La Palma Sky” Canary Island Gold Medal 2010.

 The Canary Island Government has granted the Canary Island Gold Medal 2010 to the “La Palma Sky” because it has "the highest concentration of telescopes in the northern hemisphere" and the "combination of the quality of the sky and the respect of the people of the Beautiful Island for El Roque de Los Muchachos Observatory that means that this place remains the best place in the world for astrophysics research".
