Los Campitos is a neighborhood of Todoque in La Palma, Canary Islands, Spain. Formerly it was a separate locality, integrated into Todoque in 2000. It was destroyed by a lava flow from the 2021 Cumbre Vieja volcanic eruption, which destroyed hundreds of houses in the neighborhood and ended up engulfing it entirely.
Los Campitos is located at an altitude of 500 metres (1,600 ft) above sea level, 5 kilometres (3 mi) south of the urban area of Los Llanos de Aridane. It comprises the easternmost part of the town of Todoque, bordering Las Manchas on the south.[1]
Agriculture of the area consisted of dryland farming and livestock farming. The settlements are scattered, with most building located next to Camino El Pastelero road, which runs from main part of Todoque in the west to the LP-2 main road (Carretera del Sur de La Palma), and next to the LP-2 road itself.[2]
Los Campitos used to have a local one-room school, which was attended by children of the neighborhood also the neighborhood of El Paraíso in Las Manchas.[1]
