Monumento Natural de la costa de Hiscaguán

In the municipality of Puntagorda is the Natural Monument of La Costa de Hiscaguan, an area with spectacular cliffs that surrounds the mouth of the Barranco de Izcagua strong> that separates both Puntagorda and Garafía. The Natural Monument of the Coast of Hiscaguan received this award for the Law of Natural Spaces of the Canary Islands. This part of the coast has a great scenic beauty but also has an important geomorphological relevance, a clear example of the characteristic relief of the north of the island of La Palma, where the violent scourge of the waves has molded the cliffs that can be admired.

The declaration of the monument includes a sample of an abrupt coast that is representative of the insular coast and houses plant species that are threatened and with some degree of protection, such as Limonium imbricatum and the bejeque Aeonium sedifolium.
