A small rock in the Atlantic: Buses on La Palma

La Palma has a pretty good bus service for such a rural place. For example, there's a bus from Santa Cruz (the capital) to the airport via Los Cancajos every half hour.
The buses across the centre of the island between the two main town are half-hourly too, and one goes past the Princess hotel into Los Canarios every two hours.

If you want to see glorious scenery, I recommend the bus around the north, from Santa Cruz, through, Puntallana, Los Sauces, Barlovento (change buses), Gallegos, Franceses, Santa Domingo, Puntagorda Tijarafe and Tazacorte, to Los Llanos. It's 4 hours each way, though.

The maximum fare is capped at 6€.
