Where Was La Palma Filmed?
La Palma was filmed primarily on location in the Canary Islands, Spain, specifically on the islands of La Palma and Tenerife. These stunning volcanic islands were the perfect locations for the tense drama, adding an authentic touch to the story’s disaster setting.
La Palma, Canary Islands
- La Palma, often referred to as “La Isla Bonita” (The Beautiful Island), is renowned for its lush forests, dramatic mountain ranges, and volcanic terrain. The island’s distinct geography is the perfect backdrop for the story’s suspenseful volcanic eruption plot. The island is home to several active volcanoes and was chosen for its realistic setting, making it a natural choice for the filming of a disaster series centered on a volcanic threat.
- Key filming spots include volcanic areas, coastal views, and picturesque towns like Santa Cruz de La Palma, which helped capture the local atmosphere of the island.
Tenerife, Canary Islands
- Some scenes for La Palma were filmed in Tenerife, another prominent island in the Canary Islands. Tenerife is home to Mount Teide, Spain’s highest peak, and is also known for its dramatic landscapes that fit well within the series’ volcanic disaster narrative.
- Filming in Tenerife likely included areas around Teide National Park, which offers vast volcanic plains, lava formations, and rugged terrain—perfect for capturing the tension and danger of the impending eruption.
