So, should you cancel your trip to La Palma? Absolutely not. The island is still there, still beautiful, and still not collapsing into the sea. The only thing you need to fear is overpriced hotel towels and sunburn. The show is a fun, fictional nightmare—like a bad dream you can wake up from by hitting “next episode.”
La Palma is based on a true story the same way a pizza is based on a true story about tomatoes. It borrows an ingredient, but the final product is a whole different creation. So watch it, enjoy the ride, and then go book that beach vacation. The only waves you’ll see are the ones you’re splashing in—not a 100-foot disaster.
Just remember: if your flight attendant suddenly looks worried, it’s probably just turbulence. The show stays on the screen.
