Fuencaliente, with its volcanoes, beautiful black sandy beaches and luscious green pine forests, is situated on a steep hillside at the southern tip of the island, making it a particularly fascinating location with crystal clear air.

With only a few hundred inhabitants, Fuencaliente is situated above a bizarre black lava landscape that plunges down toward the south.

Found directly below the location, are the former world-famous Malvasia wine vineyards in terrace cultivation. Rising above are the evergreen pine forests, with one of the most beautiful hiking trails on the island.

The hamlets of Las Caletas, Los Quemados and the sun-drenched Las Indias are a part of the Fuencaliente municipality. All three of them virtually cling to the abrupt and steeply sloping
hillside flanks, with Las Caletas in the south-east and the two others in the picturesque setting of the south-west,
all of them with a breathtaking seascape.

Deserted beaches and small bays are only a few kilometres further down and can be reached by car. A part of this coastal area is a diver's and snorkeller's paradise because a marine reserve is located here and fishing is forbidden.
Fuencaliente is also attractive for other outdoor activities, e.g. rock climbing and canoeing.

A hotel complex opened at one location along the expansive stretch of coast, yet the majority of the guests appear to prefer staying at the hotel pool. Hardly anyone finds the way to the beautiful bay of La Zamora. Fuencaliente lies in a lovely deep slumber, but this little spot is not too far
from the main towns of the island.

By car, you need 45 minutes to reach the beautiful capital city of Santa Cruz in the east and a little more to Los Llanos, the centre of the west
.

Special attractions in Fuencaliente are the fascinating volcano and maritime museums, lighthouses and the saltworks, which are definitely well worth visiting. The valuable handmade salt 
is a popular souvenir.
