Plaza de La Alameda

Plaza de La Alameda is a charming square located in the northern part of the old town of Santa Cruz de La Palma. Surrounded by historic buildings, it delights with beautiful palm trees, a fountain and a cozy café in the center.

At the end of the square is the wooden ship 'Barco de la Virgen', a replica of Columbus' Santa Maria, which houses the Maritime Museum. A curiosity is the small statue 'Monumento a El Enano', commemorating the tradition of dancing dwarfs wearing Napoleonic hats - a local, original cultural element of the island.
