Piscinas de La Fajana
Piscinas de La Fajana are natural swimming pools on the northeast coast of the Canary Island of La Palma , in the hamlet of La Fajana in the municipality of Barlovento , in the Riegos de Lino bay .
The hamlet and the natural swimming pools can be reached via the main road LP-1, about halfway between the villages of Los Sauces and Barlovento, and from there via a side road (about 6-7 km from both places).
The natural swimming pools are located on the steep rocky coast and consist of one large and two smaller pools. They are separated from the Atlantic Ocean by concrete barriers and receive their natural water supply from the surf.
The first work on its use as a swimming pool goes back to 1976. Before that, the bay served the locals as a washing point. In 1994 sanitary facilities with toilets and changing rooms were created. In 2011 the systems were renewed.
