El Paso
A municipality of approximately 7,700 residents in the upper Aridane Valley at 630m elevation, known as the gateway to the Caldera de Taburiente National Park. The town is famous for its silk production — the El Paso Silk Museum (Museo de la Seda) preserves the centuries-old tradition of silk weaving introduced after the conquest. The area produces distinctive wines under the La Palma DO. The La Cumbrecita viewpoint offers the best accessible panoramic views of the Caldera de Taburiente. The town is surrounded by pine forests and almond groves — the Almond Blossom Festival (Fiesta del Almendro en Flor) in February draws visitors across the island.
