Where to stay in Santa Cruz de la Palma
Staying in the historic centre puts you within easy walking distance of everything, so look for accommodation around Casco Histórico where the main market action happens. The Hotel San Telmo is a solid central option if you want something comfortable without straying far from the waterfront promenade.
If you prefer a quieter base, the area around Calle O'Daly keeps you close to the pedestrian streets and local shops that lead naturally into market days. Either way, the city is compact enough that getting around on foot is rarely a problem.
