Admired in their books by the ancient travellers who visited the island of La Palma, painted and photographed by all kinds of artists, the wooden balconies of maritime avenue of Santa Cruz are the best set of balcony preserved in the Canaries.
Double balconies of various shapes and sizes enhance a long line of houses facing the ocean that survived the sieges by pirates and corsairs. Balusters and latticework close windows around galleries that allow the trade winds blow through and where the bustle of streets and squares can be heard.
