Hotel Review
Hotel El Galeón, Santa Cruz de La Palma, La Palma
Santa Cruz de La Palma is an underrated city break and three-star Hotel El Galeón is an an urban bolthole that makes a good base for exploring the La Palma capital and beyond - especially if you crave a refuge from rural adventure. Best used as a sleepover rather than a destination in its own right, it's a place to flop after a long day discovering the island's beautiful exterior - a steady if unspectacular choice. You won't be disappointed, especially at night, when the new build is lit up and the evening sky makes the hotel stand out.
