The historic moment that placed La Palma at the center of all eyes on September 19, has come to an end. The volcanic eruption officially ceased on December 25 and is now entering a phase of degassing and cooling lava flows.
The island has the youngest territory in Spain and a new aspect in a portion of its territory, which reminds us of the volcanic origin of the Canary Islands.
