La Palma is a recently released four-episode series on Netflix. The plot of the series is about a volcanic eruption on the island of La Palma that may cause a dangerous large-scale tsunami.
As the volcanic eruption threatens the safety of millions, a researcher aims to warn everyone. The series focuses on a team of geological researchers and a family who come face to face with a potentially catastrophic volcanic eruption.
The cast of the series features Anders Baasmo Christiansen, Thea Sofie Loch Næss, and Ingrid Bolsø Berdal. Lars Gudmestad and Harald Rosenløw Eeg serve as the writers of the series. Kasper Barfoed directed the series.
For those wondering about the locations shown in the series, the four-episode series is filmed on the same island that it is named after. An island existing in real life, the series is majorly shot in La Palma. It is the westernmost island in the Canary Islands.
List of all filming locations for La Palma
1) La Palma Airport
The series was filmed at the La Palma airport. Since the plot of the series is about a volcanic eruption in La Palma, the airport is an essential location, especially in episode four. It is the only way to enter and exit the island apart from leaving on a passenger boat.
The airport can be seen in scenes where people are trying to leave the island to escape the natural disaster. In real life, the last time there was a volcanic eruption on the island, the airport was closed due to large amounts of ash accumulating. In recent years, the airport has gone back to being fully operational.
2) Cumbre Vieja
The volcano around which the plot of the series revolves, Cumbre Vieja, is a real-life active volcano on the island. It is in the center of the island. In the series, Cumbre Vieja is the volcano that erupts.
The volcano's eruption results in panic among the Norwegian family of tourists and others on the island. In real life, the last time the volcano erupted was in 2021. The eruption lasted three months and destroyed many parts of the island.
3) Playa de la Arena, Tenerife
Playa de la Arena is a beach in Tenerife that can be seen in scenes in the first episode of the series. In episode 1, Sara visits the beach. Later in the episode, Sara also sees her brother, Tobias, on the beach.
In real life, the beach is a popular black sand beach. It lies on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean. Located in the Canary Islands, the name of the beach translates to "The Arena Beach."
4) Isla Bonita, Tenerife
A resort in Tenerife, Isla Bonita can be seen in the first episode of the series. Audiences can spot the main lobby of the resort in the series when the families are checking in to the resort.
Located 260 km east of the island of La Palma, Tenerife's Isla Bonita is where many scenes of the series are filmed. Scenes showing the interiors of the resort that are central to the series were all filmed in Isla Bonita.
5) H10 Tauriente Playa
While the interior shots of the resort shown in the series are of Isla Bonita, the exterior shots of the resort were shot at H10 Tauriente Playa. Since H10 Tauriente Playa is just 23 km away from Cumbre Vieja, the hotel can be easily affected by a volcanic eruption.
This might be why this hotel was chosen as the location for exterior shots of the resort where the series' leading characters were staying. In real life, many tourists stay in H10 Tauriente Playa, as the hotel offers views of the peaks of Cumbre Vieja and the sea.
