Volcano, laurel forest and Starlight skies
Film locations in La Palma, Canary Islands
The greenest and most volcanically active island in the archipelago. The Tajogaite eruption in 2021 created a unique cinematic landscape: lava flows, ash cones and the contrast with the ancient laurel forest in the north. Starlight Reserve and home to Europe's largest telescopes.
Overview
La Palma has been Enróllate Films' operational base since 2015. We know every road, every owner, every shortcut. It's the island with the highest density of unique locations per square kilometre: in a single day you can shoot in subtropical laurel forest (Los Tilos, Cubo de La Galga), on the Tajogaite volcano (2021 eruption), on the black cliffs of Playa Nogales or in the Caldera de Taburiente at 2,400 metres.
The Tajogaite eruption made La Palma the most requested shooting set in the Canary Islands in recent years. Enróllate Films has managed access to the affected areas for numerous national and international productions, in direct coordination with the Cabildo and emergency authorities.
La Palma's sky is protected by law (Sky Law, 1988). It's one of the three best astronomical observation points on the planet, home to the Gran Telescopio Canarias and over 15 international telescopes. A natural destination for night shoots, scientific documentaries and astro-tourism.
