What should I wear when travelling to La Palma in November?
La Palma is like a small continent. And, as such, and mainly due to its main mountain chain, higher than 2,000 metres and not far away from the coast, the island's climate varies from one part of the island to the other. Normally, the temperature in November and December, depending on the part of the island, is between 12 and 18 degrees centigrade. Therefore, we suggest you carry some warm clothes with you as well as a raincoat…just in case.
What are the shop opening and closing times?
From Mondays to Fridays, shops are open from 09:00 to 13:00 and from 16:00 to 20:00. Saturdays, they are open from 09:00 to 13:00. However, in the tourist resorts, supermarkets and shops spend the whole day open, even on Sunday mornings and on public holidays
